Similarity-Based Queries
Summary: Domain-independent framework for similarity queries: pattern language, transformation-rule language (similarity-preserving transforms), and a calculus-style query language, tunable to domains (sequences, text, images). Instantiated for sequences (regex patterns) with strong approximation, expressiveness and complexity results. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
