Abstract
A new approach to the problem of evaluating the complexity ("randomness") of finite sequences is presented. The proposed complexity measure is related to the number of steps in a self-delimiting production process by which a given sequence is presumed to be generated. It is further related to the number of distinct substrings and the rate of their occurrence along the sequence. The derived properties of the proposed measure are discussed and motivated in conjunction with other well-established complexity criteria.

A Unified Algorithm for Accelerating Edit-Distance Computation via Text-Compression

TL;DR: The classical four-russians technique can be incorporated into the SLP edit-distance scheme, giving us a simple $\Omega(\lg N)$ speed-up in the case of arbitrary scoring functions, for any pair of strings.

A grammar-based distance metric enables fast and accurate clustering of large sets of 16S sequences

TL;DR: This work introduces a fast and accurate clustering algorithm that relies on a grammar-based sequence distance and its statistical clustering quality is validated by clustering large datasets containing 16S rDNA sequences.

Multivariate Multiscale Complexity Analysis of Self-Reproducing Chaotic Systems.

TL;DR: Multiscale multivariate permutation entropy (MMPE) and multiscales multivariate Lempel–Ziv complexity (MMLZC) are employed to analyze the complexity of those self-reproducing chaotic systems with one-directional and two- directional infinitely many chaotic attractors.

Automatic evaluation of intrapartum fetal heart rate recordings: a comprehensive analysis of useful features.

TL;DR: Most of the features utilized for FHR characterization, including FIGO, HRV, nonlinear, wavelet, and time and frequency domain features, are investigated and assessed based on their statistical significance in the task of distinguishing the FHR into three FIGO classes.

The definition of random sequences

TL;DR: It is shown that the random elements as defined by Kolmogorov possess all conceivable statistical properties of randomness and can equivalently be considered as the elements which withstand a certain universal stochasticity test.

Process complexity and effective random tests

TL;DR: A variant of the Kolmogorov concept of complexity which yields a common theory of finite and infinite random sequences and some concepts of effective tests which are proved to be equivalent are established.

Information-Theoretic Limitations of Formal Systems

TL;DR: An attempt is made to apply information-theoretic computational complexity to meta-mathematics by measuring the difficulty of proving a given set of theorems, in terms of the number of bits of axioms that are assumed, and the size of the proofs needed to deduce the theoremic proofs.
