Tom Mulvaney - "Opportunistic Data Structures with Applications"

Tom Mulvaney presents "Opportunistic Data Structures with Applications" based on the paper with the same title by P. Ferragina and G. Manzini (https://people.unipmn.it/manzini/papers/focs00draft.pdf).

Abstract

The paper describes techniques which have been employed heavily in the domain of bioinformatics but are also relevant to those interested in searching or compressing strings. I will be presenting a simplified version of the method outlined in the paper as well as illustrating why it has found such great use in the field of bioinformatics.
