Abstract :
Sequences of events are an important form of data that occurs in many application domains, such as telecommunications, biostatistics, user interface design, etc. We present a simple model for measuring the similarity of event sequences, and show that the resulting measure of distance can be efficiently computed using a form of dynamic programming
