Overview
Key facts
On Malmö University's Algorithmic methods for search and storage course, you have the opportunity to expand your previously acquired knowledge of sorting algorithms and lookup data structures (search trees and hash tables) into specializations for string data, necessary to provide search and pattern matching with enough power for the commonplace and scientific uses that we have grown used to. Furthermore, you acquaint yourself with the closely related topic of algorithms for compressing data to represent information as space-efficiently as possible. In addition to being directly useful, the material on the course serves as examples for a generally deeper knowledge of how to analyze and tackle problems from the perspective of algorithm theory. This knowledge is widely valuable, outside of the application areas we address.
Programme Structure
- The course lets the student advance his or her knowledge in algorithmic methodology. Previously acquired knowledge of sorting algorithms and search data structures is deepened through the study of methods for efficient searching and storing of sequential data strings, for example, text in natural or formal languages, or genetic and other biological data. The student learns to make use of, adapt, and implement of efficient methods for representing, structuring, searching, and compressing large amounts of data.
