Abstract

A new general framework for generalized median approximation is proposed based on the concept of weighted mean of a pair of objects. It can be easily adopted for different application domains like strings, graphs or clusterings, among others. The framework is validated for strings showing its superiority over the state-of-the-art.

Keywords

  • Generalize Median
  • Edit Distance
  • Input String
  • Edit Operation
  • Median Graph

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
