Indexing for Subtree Similarity-Search using Edit Distance
Summary: First index structure for subtree similarity search under tree edit distance with a unit-cost model. Enables pruning-based, fast queries over large T, avoiding full-tree traversal; experiments show large speedups over prior traversal-based approaches. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
