Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in data as well as queries. Such applications need to solve the following problem of approximate string queries: from a collection of strings, such as person names, paper titles, telephone numbers, and company addresses, how to find those similar to a given string, or the strings in another (possibly the same) collection of strings? To name a few, in record linkage, we often need to find from a table those records that are similar to a given query string that could represent the same real-world entity, even though they have slightly different representations, such as schwarrzenger versus schwarzenegger. In spellchecking, for each word that is not in a predefined lexicon, we need to recommend a few good words by searching within the lexicon those similar to the possibly mistyped word. In Web search, the implementation of the "Did you mean" feature by many search engines can benefit from the capability of finding keywords that are similar to a keyword in a search query.
