FIX to Practical Indexing of Repetitive Collections using Relative Lempel-Ziv
Level: Serious
When preparing the journal version, I discovered that the experimental results
were all wrong. Both space and time are higher than what appears in the paper,
making our scheme lose in practice to the Hybrid Index.
Another mistake is in line 3 of page 5, where it says that we consider the
whole prefix S_k[1..p_u-1]. If we index the whole prefixes, we might
report duplicate occurrences. We must consider instead only the block,
S_k[p_{u-1}..p_u-1].
