World and internet is full of textual information. We search for information using textual queries, we read websites, books, e-mails. All those are strings from the point of view of computer science. To make sense of all that information and make search efficient, search engines use many string algorithms. Moreover, the emerging field of personalized medicine uses many search algorithms to find disease-causing mutations in the human genome.

Suffix Trees
How would you search for a longest repeat in a string in LINEAR time? In 1973, Peter Weiner came up with a surprising solution that was based on suffix trees, the key data structure in pattern matching. Computer scientists were so impressed with his algorithm that they called it the Algorithm of the Year. In this lesson, we will explore some key ideas for pattern matching that will - through a series of trials and errors - bring us to suffix trees.

Burrows-Wheeler Transform and Suffix Arrays
Although EXACT pattern matching with suffix trees is fast, it is not clear how to use suffix trees for APPROXIMATE pattern matching. In 1994, Michael Burrows and David Wheeler invented an ingenious algorithm for text compression that is now known as Burrows-Wheeler Transform. They knew nothing about genomics, and they could not have imagined that 15 years later their algorithm will become the workhorse of biologists searching for genomic mutations. But what text compression has to do with pattern matching??? In this lesson you will learn that the fate of an algorithm is often hard to predict – its applications may appear in a field that has nothing to do with the original plan of its inventors.

Knuth–Morris–Pratt Algorithm
Congratulations, you have now learned the key pattern matching concepts: tries, suffix trees, suffix arrays and even the Burrows-Wheeler transform! However, some of the results Pavel mentioned remain mysterious: e.g., how can we perform exact pattern matching in O(|Text|) time rather than in O(|Text|*|Pattern|) time as in the naïve brute force algorithm? How can it be that matching a 1000-nucleotide pattern against the human genome is nearly as fast as matching a 3-nucleotide pattern??? Also, even though Pavel showed how to quickly construct the suffix array given the suffix tree, he has not revealed the magic behind the fast algorithms for the suffix tree construction!In this module, Miсhael will address some algorithmic challenges that Pavel tried to hide from you :) such as the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm for exact pattern matching and more efficient algorithms for suffix tree and suffix array construction.

Constructing Suffix Arrays and Suffix Trees
In this module we continue studying algorithmic challenges of the string algorithms. You will learn an O(n log n) algorithm for suffix array construction and a linear time algorithm for construction of suffix tree from a suffix array. You will also implement these algorithms and the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm in the last Programming Assignment in this course.

Very good course. String algorithms are very important in day today life and one should really know how to solve command problems related to it. This course have described everything so well.
por NROct 18, 2019
Very well put together course. Challenging but understandable. I highly recommend you stick out. If you get stuck check the forums there's lots of helpful things there. Time well spent!
por ABOct 20, 2017
Its a very good course overall. Just felt that towards the end the material got too much to digest, might be a good idea to split the contents of weeks 3 and 4 into 3 or 4 weeks.
por JMNov 13, 2016
It would be nice if you could deliver the problem's solutions after the course ended. I ran out of ideas for the BetterBWMatching problem and i couldn't overcome the time issues.
por AADec 29, 2017
A good course giving insight into how important string algorithms are for not only to computer science community but also its use in other disciplines like bioinformatics etc.
por SSJan 24, 2017
Initially the accent was a little bit hard to understand, but after few minutes everything become crystal clear. Extremely useful course content.
por ANJun 5, 2017
Unfortunately the forums go inactive after the first few iterations of the course. One can still learn by doing the programming assignments
por AFAug 19, 2019
Takes your understanding of string algorithms to the next level and gives you new ideas of handling large amount of memory intensive tasks.
por PGNov 18, 2017
great course, interesting concepts and very well delivered content from lecture videos. challenging and rewarding programming assignments.
por KPJun 23, 2018
Learned a lot in the class. It was really excellent. But many a times we need to hear twice to understand some of the concepts clearly.
por AAFeb 23, 2019
It was awesome. I was very surprised and mesmerized while understanding how the great scientists solved these challenging problems!
por KBSep 2, 2016
Course Content is good. Instructors are not that much active to give answers for the raised questions compared to earlier courses.
por TNOct 4, 2019
The professor explained clearly as usual. The first 3 weeks is not too hard but final week took me really long time to understand.
por YZJul 22, 2019
Great course, and part of a great specialization. Lesson are well constructed, and the assignments reflect the lectures very well.
por PPAug 15, 2016
Really good quality information and examples (includes reasoning). It includes some of the latest developments in this area.
por DKNov 1, 2018
I think it would be more helpful to trade BWT to more practical Polynomial Hashing tricks. Otherwise good course
por KSep 10, 2016
Excellent for working on string related problems in competetive coding as well as development profiles.
por TSMar 16, 2018
Good course that teaches Burrows wheeler transform, KMP algorithm. The assignments are also very good.
por EPFeb 1, 2019
I would be interesting update Algorihm on Strings to construction of suffix arrays in linear time.
por GAug 31, 2016
Great Course, assignment a little bit harder than previous courses in the specialization

Acerca de Programa especializado Estructuras de datos y algoritmos
This specialization is a mix of theory and practice: you will learn algorithmic techniques for solving various computational problems and will implement about 100 algorithmic coding problems in a programming language of your choice. No other online course in Algorithms even comes close to offering you a wealth of programming challenges that you may face at your next job interview. To prepare you, we invested over 3000 hours into designing our challenges as an alternative to multiple choice questions that you usually find in MOOCs. Sorry, we do not believe in multiple choice questions when it comes to learning algorithms...or anything else in computer science! For each algorithm you develop and implement, we designed multiple tests to check its correctness and running time — you will have to debug your programs without even knowing what these tests are! It may sound difficult, but we believe it is the only way to truly understand how the algorithms work and to master the art of programming. The specialization contains two real-world projects: Big Networks and Genome Assembly. You will analyze both road networks and social networks and will learn how to compute the shortest route between New York and San Francisco (1000 times faster than the standard shortest path algorithms!) Afterwards, you will learn how to assemble genomes from millions of short fragments of DNA and how assembly algorithms fuel recent developments in personalized medicine.
