Popis: This work introduces novel parallel methods for weighted longest common subsequence (WLCS) and its generalization, all-substrings WLCS. Previous work developed efficient algorithms for these problems via Monge matrix multiplication, which is a limiting factor for further improvement. Diverging from these approaches, we relax the algorithm’s optimality guarantee in a controlled way, using a different, natural dynamic program which can be sketched and solved in a divide-and-conquer manner that is efficient to parallelize.
