Ed-Join: An Efficient Algorithm for Similarity Joins With Edit Distance Constraints

Summary: Ed-Join reframes edit-distance similarity joins around mismatching, rather than matching, q-grams. It derives location- and content-aware lower bounds and uses them for stronger candidate filtering, substantially outperforming prior methods on large real datasets.
