In computer science, Levenshtein automata are a family of finite state automata that can recognize the set V of all words in a formal language for which the Levenshtein distance to an arbitrary word W does not exceed a particular constant.

dbpprop:abstract
  • In computer science, Levenshtein automata are a family of finite state automata that can recognize the set V of all words in a formal language for which the Levenshtein distance to an arbitrary word W does not exceed a particular constant. A Levenshtein automaton for W can be constructed in linear time proportional to the length of W, and can identify V in much less time than would be needed if the Levenshtein distance to W was calculated for each word in the language (a problem with quadratic time complexity). The construction operation for the Levenshtein automaton reflects the composition of a finite state transducer with the word. A probabilistic relative of the Levenshtein automaton is the Hidden Markov model.
