Overlap Set Similarity Joins with Theoretical Guarantees

Summary: Overlap Set Similarity Joins with Theoretical Guarantees introduces a size-aware algorithm for c-overlap joins with time O(n^{2-1/c} k^{1/(2c)}). It partitions sets into small/large, uses large-set methods for the large group, and adds small-set heuristics plus a boundary optimizer, yielding strong practical speedups.
