The fuzzy pattern matching technique has been developed in the framework of fuzzy set and possibility theory in order to take into account the imprecision and the uncertainty pervading values which have to be compared to requirements (which may be fuzzy) in a pattern matching process. This paper restates the basic principles and extends them to situations where (sub)patterns are only required to be satisfied up to a given tolerance (which may be fuzzy), or where the different subparts of a compound pattern may have various levels of importance. Both cases correspond to a weakening of elementary patterns. which can be expressed by a fuzzy relations modelling an approximate equality or an uncertain strict equality respectively. We also study the more sophisticated case where some elementary patterns have not to be satisfied with the highest priority provided that weaker requirements remain satisfied. The fuzzy pattern matching technique applies in a variety of problems including the evaluation of soft queries with respect to a fuzzy database, the evaluation of the fuzzy condition parts of rules in approximate reasoning, or the evaluation of the belonging of an ill-known object to a flexible class in classification problems.

In this paper we first propose a new cryptosystem based on our data hiding scheme (2,9,8) introduced in 2019 with high security, where encrypting and hiding are done at once, the ciphertext does not depend on the input image size as existing hybrid techniques of cryptography and steganography. We then exploit our automata approach presented in 2019 to design two algorithms for exact and approximate pattern matching on secret data encrypted by our cryptosystem. Theoretical analyses remark that these algorithms both have O(n) time complexity in the worst case, where for the approximate algorithm, we assume that it uses ⌈(1-ε)m)⌉ processors, where ε, m and n are the error of our string similarity measure and lengths of the pattern and secret data, respectively. In searchable encryption, our cryptosystem is used by users and our pattern matching algorithms are performed by cloud providers.

Sequential pattern mining, which discovers frequent subsequences as patterns in a sequence database, is an important data mining problem with broad applications. Since a sequential pattern in DNA sequences can be a motif, we studied to find sequential patterns in DNA sequences. Most previously proposed mining algorithms follow the exact matching with a sequential pattern definition. They are not able to work in noisy environments and inaccurate data in practice. Theses problems occurs frequently in DNA sequences which is a biological data. We investigated approximate matching method to deal with those cases. Our idea is based on the observation that all occurrences of a frequent pattern can be classified into groups, which we call approximated pattern. The existing PrefixSpan algorithm can successfully find sequential patterns in a long sequence. We improved the PrefixSpan algorithm to find approximate sequential patterns. The experimental results showed that the number of repeats from the proposed method was 5 times more than that of PrefixSpan when the pattern length is 4.

The application of finding occurrences of a pattern that contains gaps includes information retrieval, data mining, and computational biology. As the biological sequences may contain errors, it is important to find not only the exact occurrences of a pattern but also approximate ones. In this paper we present an O(mnk$_{max}$/w) time algorithm for the approximate gapped pattern matching problem, where m is the length of the text, H is the length of the pattern, w is the word size of the target machine, and k$_{max}$ is the greatest error bound for subpatterns.

As Internet grows, many web sites have been built, therefore much information has been registered. Because the web sites have more information, it is more difficult that the user can find the information wanted. Therefore, to get information that user wants easily, the full-text engine may be embedded to the web site. This paper is about developing the help conversational agent for a user to find the information that he wants through conversation with agent. The proposed method is based on the pattern matching of artificial intelligence, not natural language processing. If a user inputs any sentence, the help conversational agent responds to the sentence through preprocessing and pattern matching with knowledge. The knowledge is built with the XML format. With the approximate pattern matching, the agent picks up the appropriate response with some degree of similarities. At the experiment, some different sentences with the same meaning have been entered, then the agent recognized them as the same pattern, and it made a correct answer.

Order preserving matching refers to the problem of reporting substrings of a given text where there exists order isomorphism with the pattern. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on filtering and evaluation. The proposed algorithm is simple and easy to implement, and runs in linear time on average. Experimental results show that it works efficiently with real world data.

In this paper, we propose a parallel approximate string matching algorithm with k-mismatches for multiple fixed-length patterns (PMASM) in DNA sequences. PMASM is developed from parallel single pattern approximate string matching algorithms to effectively calculate the Hamming distances for multiple patterns with a fixed-length. In the preprocessing phase of PMASM, all target patterns are binary encoded and stored into a look-up memory. With each input character from the input string, the Hamming distances between a substring and all patterns can be updated at the same time based on the binary encoding information in the look-up memory. Moreover, PMASM adopts graphics processing units (GPUs) to process the data computations in parallel. This paper presents three kinds of PMASM implementation methods in GPUs: thread PMASM, block-thread PMASM, and shared-mem PMASM methods. The shared-mem PMASM method gives an example to effectively make use of the GPU parallel capacity. Moreover, it also exploits special features of the CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) memory structure to optimize the performance. In the experiments with DNA sequences, the proposed PMASM on GPU is 385, 77, and 64 times faster than the traditional naive algorithm, the shift-add algorithm and the single thread PMASM implementation on CPU. With the same NVIDIA GPU model, the performance of the proposed approach is enhanced up to 44% and 21%, compared with the naive, and the shift-add algorithms.

A line search method is developed to locate all the conerpoints of 2-dimensional polygon images for inspection purposes. This optimization-based method is used to approximate a 2-D curved object by a polygon. This scheme is also developed for inspection of objects in industrial environment. The inspection includes dimensional verification and pattern matching which compares a 2-D image of an object to a pattern image. The method proves to be computationally efficient and accurate for real time application.

In this paper, we propose new randomness testing methods based on approximate periods in order to improve the previous randomness testing method using exact pattern matching. Finding approximate periods of random sequences enables us to search similarly repeated parts, but it has disadvantages since it takes long time. In this paper we propose randomness testing methods whose time complexity is O($n^2$) by reducing the time complexity of computing approximate periods from O($n^3$) to O($n^2$). Moreover, we perform some experiments to compare pseudo random number generated by AES cryptographic algorithms and true random number.

This paper prrsents shape matching of two-dimensional object. This shape matching is applied to two-dimensional simple c10sedcurves represented by polygons. A large number of shape matching procedures have proposed baseed on teh view that shape can be represented by a vector of numerical features, and that this representation can be matched using techniques from statical pattern recognition. The varieties of features that have been extracted from shapes and used to represent them are numerous. But all of these feature-based approches suffer from the shortcoming that the descriptor of a segment of a shape do not ordinarily bear any simple relations hip to the description for the entire shape. We solve the segment matching problem of shape matching, defined as the recognition of a piece of a shape as approximate match to a part of large shape, by using relaxation labeling technique.
