The Human Genome has approximately 3.3 Giga base-pairs  
— Human Genome Project

## 6.1 Overview and Motivation

In this chapter, we present one more topic that is tested in ICPC—although not as frequent as graph and mathematics problems—namely, string processing. String processing is common in the research field of informatics. However, as the strings that processors deal with can usually become very big, efficient data structures and algorithms are necessary. Some of these problems are presented as contest problems in ICPC. By mastering the content of this chapter, ICPC contestants will have a better chance at tackling these string processing problems.

String processing has also been shown to be critical in the input and output data structures of many languages (usually built-in restrictions). Additionally, the input and output formats are usually quite tricky. The algorithms to be tested in string processing are similar to those seen in the polynomial solving paradigms mentioned in Chapter 5. It is instructive for input constraints to know string algorithms as this chapter's segment Section 6.3 will be discussing those. However, we believe that it may be advantageous for ICPC contestants to learn some of the more advanced materials outside of their syllabus.

## 6.2 Basic String Processing Skills

We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer must know. In this section, we provide a series of mini-tasks that you should solve one after another without asking. Who can spot your favorite programming language (e.g., C, C++, or Java)? Try your best to keep up with the subtask, using default input/output functions as you find it easier.

1. Given a string that includes any alphanumeric characters [A-Za-z0-9], space, and period (`.`), write a program to read that file line by line—to encounter a line that starts with `s`. 
2. When two lines are compared, give one of the lines a long string `t`. If the two lines concatenate (combine) such that the last word of the previous line is separated from the first of the new line, then you can absorb in any of your implementations (or even your simplest implementations). 
3. You can add up to 30 requests to me—you may see the same input file `file1.txt` shown on the next page: After question 1 (d) and before task 2.

The Human Genome has approximately 3.3 Giga base-pairs  
— Human Genome Project

## 6.1 Overview and Motivation

In this chapter, we present one more topic that is tested in ICPC – although not as frequent as graph and mathematics problems – namely, string processing. String processing is common in the research field of bioinformatics. However, as the strings that scientists deal with are usually extremely large, efficient data structures and algorithms are necessary. Some of these problems are presented as contest problems in ICPC. By mastering the content of this chapter, ICPC contestants will have a better chance at tackling these string processing problems.

String processing has also appeared in IOI, but usually the input and output strings do not require any special symbols (i.e., restrictions). Additionally, the input and output formats are usually quite simple. The problems tend to focus on the coding input and output formatting commonly found in ICPC problems. IOI tasks that require string processing are usually still solvable using the problem-solving paradigms mentioned in Chapter 5. It is instructive for participants to learn string algorithms in this chapter except Section 5.4 about string matching with DP; however, we believe that it may be advantageous for IOI contestants to learn some of the more advanced materials outside of their syllabus.

## 6.2 Basic String Processing Skills

We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer must know. In this section, we provide a series of mini-tasks that you should solve one after another without asking. You can use your favorite programming language (C, C++, or Java). Try your best to come up with the shortest, most efficient solutions you can think of.

1. Given a string `s` that consists of alphabetic characters [A-Za-z], digits [0-9], space, and period (`.`), write a program to read the first line from the file `in.txt` and encounter a long string `t`. When two lines are combined, give one example such that the last word of the previous line is separated from the first of the current line. There can be up to 30 of these combinations until you run out of input. Also, you can study any of your implementations or even your sample implementations. There is no trailing space at the end of each line. Note: The sample input file `in.txt` is shown on the next page: After question 1(b) and before task 2.

While we believe many parts of the IOI syllabus have been included in this book, which should give you a respectable foundation for future IOIs - we are well aware that not IOI tasks require more problem solving skills and creativity that we cannot teach via this book. So, keep practicing!

## Specific to the Teachers/Coaches  

This book is based on Steven's CS3232 - *Competitive Programming* course in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. It is conducted in its teaching version, using the following lesson plan (see Table 2). The PDF slides (only the public versions) are to be used in conjunction with the content of this book. Lastly, teachers/coaches are free to modify the lesson plan to suit your students' needs.

## To All Readers  

Due to the diversity of this content, this book is not meant to be read once, but several times. There are a number of topics that are intermingled throughout the text, and readers are encouraged to view the corresponding problems (see [**Chapter 1**](#)) after studying that portion of the text to solidify and enhance their understanding of the material. In this way, relative twists are captured within their context. Make sure to pay attention to the practical examples taken from competitive programming!  

IPM will not be thorough as the book mentions how to assist students as efficiently as possible, so consider the sections and exercises must be perceived in this book before focusing on more challenges after mastering this book. But before you assume anything, please check this book’s table of contents to see what we mean by “bask”.

## 3.6 Chapter Notes

Many problems in ICPC or IC require one or combination (see Section 3.2) of these problem-solving paradigms. In fact, we have to mandate a chapter in this book that contestants have to really master, and we will discuss this here.

The main source of the "Complete Search" material in this chapter is the USACO training gateway [2]. We adopt the name "Complete Search" rather than "Brute-Force" as we believe that some Complete Search solutions can be cleaner and more elegant, although it is complete. We refer to the term "Brute-Force" as a bit disconcerting. We will discuss some advanced search techniques later in Section 3.8, e.g., A* Search, Depth Limited Search (DLS), Iterative Deepening Search (IDS), Iterative Deepening A* (IDA*).

Divided and conquer paradigms is usually stated in the form of its popular algorithms: binary search and its variants, merging/sorting, dynamic programming, and data structures; binary search trees, heaps, segment trees, etc. We will see more D/C later in Computational Geometry (Section 7.4).

Aspects of Greedy and Dynamic Programming (DP) techniques/executions are always included in popular algorithm textbooks, see Introduction to Algorithms [3], Algorithm Design [2], Algorithm [4]. However, to keep work with the growing difficulties and diversity of these techniques, especially the DP techniques, we include some references from interior “Desktop” algorithm tutorials [1] and recent programming contests. In this book, we will revisit DP again for one occasion: Forest Wadsworth's DP algorithm (Section 6.7), PA (implied) DAG (Section 3.17), DP String (Section 6.5), and some Approximate DP (Section 5.4).

However, for some real-life problems, especially those that are classified as NP-Complete [3], many of the approaches discussed so far will not work. For example, K-Sat/Graph Problem which has O(N^5) problem complexity to know if ∃ x1, x2, ..., xk such that P(x1, x2, …, xk) = 0 or the complexity is too high for real-life search problems, people use heuristics or local search. Tabu Search [14], 14, Genetic Algorithm, Ants Colony Optimization, Beam Search, etc.

These are 19 UVa (4 + 15 others) programming exercises discussed in this chapter.  
(Only 10 in the first edition, a 75% increase).  
There are 32 pages in this chapter.  
(Also 32 in the first edition, but some content have been reorganized to Chapter 4 and 8).

Context: # 6.3 AD HOC STRING PROCESSING PROBLEMS
© Steven & Felix

## Problems List

1. UVA 11136 - **Median Finding** (extract tree, simple/indirect recursion from a bin, pdf)
2. UVA 11284 - **Permutations Counter** (simple mathematical expressions parsing)
3. UVA 10494 - **Marble Mongoose** (simultaneous, output formatting)
4. UVA 10480 - **Raining Waves** (half array manipulation, output formatting)
5. UVA 10409 - **Not That Kind of Graph** (consecutive substring problem)
6. UVA 10930 - **Show History** (long files can cause this "easy" problem?)
7. UVA 10086 - **Encoder** (output formatting)
8. UVA 11937 - **Extra Spaces** (replace consecutive spaces with only one space)

## String Processing

1. UVA 600 - **Essences, Encores (title and composer; ex: as well as an entire word)**
2. UVA 604 - **Immediate Decodability** (is a specific code a valid text?; better key)
3. UVA 10486 - **JavaClass Correspondence**
4. UVA 11513 - **Automatic Correction** (flexible string edit dictionary)
5. UVA 11514 - **String Comparisons** (editing comparisons)
6. UVA 11278 - **Edit Edit Writing**
7. UVA 11376 - **Longest Harmonic Substring**
8. UVA 11236 - **Big Number of Twins** (combined string comparison)

## Just for Fun

1. UVA 11345 - **Permute Child** (this is similar to UVA 941)
2. UVA 10964 - **Number Cruncher** (number digits, convert to integer; draw, simulate)
3. UVA 10628 - **Perimeter** (this is similar to PN permutation)
4. UVA 10107 - **Permutations** (find formatting; is this the permutation of a string?)
5. UVA 10263 - **Leonard-Many** (hint to find the description very closely)
6. UVA 10888 - **Once-Marked Types** (is this irrelevant?)
7. UVA 11236 - **I Love Strings** (look while checking if A is the number of B & C)
8. UVA 11285 - **Jeans** (calculate structure; take normal input, BF)
9. UVA 11349 - **Algorithm** (thing from the focus)
10. UVA 11354 - **The Check Chilly Code** (string, print, normal input, BF)
11. UVA 12129 - **Digital Raider** (might result in 1 or 2 alphanumeric)
12. UVA 10927 - **Z-Fill** (format; similar to UVA 941; two vars)
13. UVA 11497 - **Paired Equation** (find, resolve two linear equations)
14. UVA 12156 - **Sorting** (finished)
15. UVA 12379 - **Arrange** (finished)
16. UVA 12154 - **Find-K-SubString** (sublist)

Although the problems listed in this section constitutes 77% of the problems listed in this chapter, we have to note that most real contest problems in ACM ICPC (and also IOI) usually do not feature such long descriptions as the problem's "self-explanatory problem matching problems (Section 6.4) should be able to resolve in the next few sections while discussing Dynamic Programming (DP) (Section 6.5). This also means, even in these challenges and problems, there are effective data structures for storing iterations like Suffix Tree, Suffix Array must be used. We discuss these data structures and several specialized algorithms using these data structures in Section 6.6.

# PREFACE

This book is intended as a textbook for a course of a full year, and it is believed that many of the students who study the subject for only a half year will desire to read the full text. An abridged edition has been prepared, however, for students who study the subject for only one semester and who do not care to purchase the larger text.

It will be observed that the work includes two chapters on solid analytic geometry. These will be found quite sufficient for the ordinary reading of higher mathematics, although they do not pretend to cover the ground necessary for a thorough understanding of the geometry of three dimensions.

It will also be noticed that the chapter on higher plane curves includes the more important curves of this nature, considered from the point of view of interest and applications. A complete list is not only unnecessary but undesired, and the selection given in Chapter XII will be found ample for our purposes.

**Table 1: Not in IOI Syllabus [1] Yet**

We know that one cannot win a medal in IOI just by mastering the current events of this book. While we believe that parts of the IOI syllabus have been included in this work— which should give you a respectable foundation for future IOIs— we are well aware that most IOI tasks require more problem-solving skills and creativity that we cannot teach via this book. So, keep practicing!

## Specific to the Teachers/Coaches

This book is used in Steven's CS3232 - *Competitive Programming* course in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. It is contributed in its teaching, using the following lesson plan (see Table 2). The PDF files (only the pdfs pertaining to this course) are given in the companion website of this book. Kindly notify the authors of the variable exercises in this book via an Appendix A. Fellow teachers/coaches are free to modify the lesson plan to suit your students' needs.

## To All Readers

Due to the diversity of this content, this book is not meant to be read once, but several times. There are challenges that may be skipped at first if the student is not familiar throughout the text, but as the student progresses throughout these pages, they might experience new twists as we attempt to clarify them. Make sure to be aware of those challenges. 

IPC will follow this structure to present the challenging aspects, as we cannot assume students are prepared in this book before facing more challenges after mastering this book. But before you assume anything, please check this book's table of contents to see what we mean by *base*.

Context: The preceding sections definition matches the layout shown in figure 3.4 because the output of the makefile in listing 3.3 is a flat binary file. The SECTION keyword starts the section definition. The .text keyword starts the text section definition, the .rodata keyword starts the read-only data section definition, the .data keyword starts the data section definition, and the .bss keyword starts the base stack segment section. The ALIGN keyword is used to align the starting address of the corresponding section definition to some predefined multiple of bytes. In the preceding section definition, the sections are aligned to a 4-byte boundary except for the text section.   The name of the sections can vary depending on the programmer's will. However, the naming convention presented here is encouraged for clarity.  Return to the linker script invocation again in listing 3.3:         $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(ROM_OBJ) $(OBJS)   In the preceding linker invocation, the output from the linker is another object file represented by the ROM_OBJ constant. How are you going to obtain the flat binary file? The next line and previously defined flags in the makefile clarify this:  OBJCOPY= objcopy OBJCOPY_FLAGS= -v -O binary # irrelevant lines omitted...        $(OBJCOPY) $(OBJCOPY_FLAGS) $(ROM_OBJ) $(ROM_BIN)   In these makefile statements, a certain member of GNU binutils called objcopy is producing the flat binary file from the object file. The -O binary in the OBJCOPY_FLAGS informs the objcopy utility that it should emit the flat binary file from the object file previously linked by the linker. However, it must be noted that objcopy merely copies the relevant content of the object file into the flat binary file; it doesn't alter the layout of the sections in the linked object file. The next line in the makefile is as follows:         build_rom $(ROM_BIN) $(ROM_SIZE)   This invokes a custom utility to patch the flat binary file into a valid PCI expansion ROM binary.  Now you have mastered the basics of using the linker script to generate a flat binary file from C source code and assembly source code. Venture into the next chapters. Further information will be presented in the PCI expansion ROM section of this book.     13

**Table 1: Not in IOI Syllabus [1] Yet**  

We know that one cannot win a medal in IOI just by mastering the current versions of this book. While we believe many parts of the IOI syllabus have been included in this book, which should give you a respectable base for future IOIs – we are well aware that IOI takes require more problem-solving skills and creativity that we cannot teach via this book. So, keep practicing!

## Specific to the Teachers/Coaches

This book is used in Steven's CS3232 - "Competitive Programming" course in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. It is contributed in its teaching using the following lesson plan (see Table 2). The PDF slides (only the public version) vary to the one combined with the text of this book. Kindly refer to the website for the updated exercises that you may assign in Appendix A. Fellow teachers/coaches are free to modify the lesson plan to suit your students' needs.

## To All Readers

Due to the diversity of this content, this book is not meant to be read once, but several times. There are several areas where readers can be challenged and stimulated throughout the text; however, feel free to skip ahead if the content is not relevant to that point of time, but be aware that mastering these ideas may save your time during competitive contests. Important terms and tricks are scattered throughout the book. Make sure to pay attention to them. 

IPC (IP Programming Contest) is similar to what other schools may call students as ACM ICPC (formerly known as the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest). The purpose of this book is to present you with a plethora of real-world challenges after mastering this book. But before you assume anything, please check this book's table of contents to see what we mean by "basic."

Context: 1. The assembler must be able to work with the original binary, in particular reading bytes from it and replacing bytes in the original binary.
2. The assembler must be able to produce a final executable<sup>13</sup> binary file that combines both the injected code and the original binary file.

Among all assemblers that I've come across, only FASM meets both of the preceding requirements. That's why I'm using FASM to work with the template.

Figure 12.13 presents the overview of the compilation steps when FASM assembles the source code in listing 12.21.

1. Place the contents of the included binary file in the very beginning of the output binary.
2. Expand macro calls into assembly language code.
3. Compile the overall assembly language code, append the result after the included binary file in the output binary.
4. Execute the "fasm interpreter instructions" in the source code to modify the output binary.

Perhaps, you are confused about what the phrase "FASM interpreter instructions" means. These instructions manipulate the result of the compilation process. For example, the `load` and `store` instructions. I'll explain their usage to clarify this issue. Start with the `load` instruction:

<sup>13</sup> Executable in this context means the final PCI expansion ROM.

Context: Figure 13.3 Steps in comprehending TCG standards implementation in PC architecture 
 
 
Figure 13.3 shows that the first document you have to read is the TCG Specification 
Architecture Overview. Then, proceed to the platform-specific design guide document, 
which in the current context is the PC platform specification document. You have to 
consult the concepts explained in the TPM main specification, parts 1–4, and the TSS 
document while reading the PC platform specification document—the dashed blue arrows 
in figure 13.3 mean "consult." You can download the TCG Specification Architecture 
Overview 
and 
TPM 
main 
specification, 
parts 
1–4, 
at 
https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/TPM. The TSS document is available for 
download at https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/TSS, and the PC platform 
specification 
document 
is 
available 
for 
download 
at 
https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCClient. 
 
The PC platform specification document consists of several files; the relevant ones are 
TCG PC Client–Specific Implementation Specification for Conventional BIOS (as of the 
writing of this book, the latest version of this document is 1.20 final) and PC Client TPM 
Interface Specification FAQ. Reading these documents will give you a glimpse of the 
concepts of trusted computing and some details about its implementation in PC 
architecture. 
 
Before moving forward, I'll explain a bit more about the fundamental concept of trusted 
computing that is covered by the TCG standards. The TCG Specification Architecture 
Overview defines trust as the "expectation that a device will behave in a particular manner 
for a specific purpose." The advanced features that exist in a trusted platform are protected 
capabilities, integrity measurement, and integrity reporting. The focus is on the integrity 
measurement feature because this feature relates directly to the BIOS. As per the TCG 
Specification Architecture Overview, integrity measurement is "the process of obtaining 
metrics of platform characteristics that affect the integrity (trustworthiness) of a platform; 
storing those metrics; and putting digests of those metrics in PCRs [platform configuration 
registers]." I'm not going to delve into this definition or the specifics about PCRs. 
Nonetheless, it's important to note that in the TCG standards for PC architecture, core root 
of trust measurement (CRTM) is synonymous with BIOS boot block. At this point, you have

In both scenarios, the representative transactions extracted give us the titles of papers that effectively capture the meaning of the given patterns. The experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of semantic pattern annotation to generate a dictionary-like annotation for frequent patterns, which can help a user understand the meaning of annotated patterns.

The context modeling and semantic analysis method presented here is general and can deal with any type of frequent patterns with context information. Such semantic annotations can have many other applications such as ranking patterns, categorizing and clustering patterns with semantics, and summarizing databases. Applications of the pattern context model and semantical analysis method are also not limited to pattern annotation; other example applications include pattern compression, transaction clustering, pattern relations discovery, and pattern synonym discovery.

## 7.6.2 Applications of Pattern Mining

We have studied many aspects of frequent pattern mining, with topics ranging from efficient mining algorithms and the diversity of patterns to pattern interestingness, pattern

Context: # 1. TCG Architecture Overview

![Figure 1.3 Steps in comprehending TCG standards implementation in PC architecture](figure-1.3.png)

Figure 1.3 shows that the first document you have to read is the **TCG Specification Architecture Overview**. Then, proceed to the platform-specific design guide document, which in the current context is the PC platform specification document. You have to consult the concepts explained in the TPM main specification, parts 1–4, and the TSS document while reading the PC platform specification document—the dashed blue arrows in figure 1.3 mean "consult." You can download the **TCG Specification Architecture Overview** at [https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/TSS](https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/TSS), and the TSS document is available for download at [https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCCLIENT](https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCCLIENT).

The PC platform specification document consists of several files; the relevant ones are:

- **TCG PC Client–Specific Implementation Specification for Conventional BIOS** (as of the writing of this book, the latest version of this document is 1.20 final)
- **PC Client TPM Interface Specification FAQ**

Reading these documents will give you a glimpse of the concepts of trusted computing and some details about its implementation in PC architecture.

Before moving forward, I’ll explain a bit more about the fundamental concept of **trusted computing** that is covered by the TCG standards. The **TCG Specification Architecture Overview** defines trust as the "expectation that a device will behave in a particular manner for a specific purpose." The advanced features that exist in a trusted platform are protected capabilities, integrity measurement, and integrity reporting. The focus is on the integrity measurement feature because this feature relates directly to the BIOS. As per the **TCG Specification Architecture Overview**, integrity measurement is "the process of obtaining metrics of platform characteristics that affect the integrity (trustworthiness) of a platform; storing those metrics; and putting digests of those metrics in PCRs [platform configuration registers]." 

I'm not going to delve into this definition or the specifics about PCRs. Nonetheless, it's important to note that in the TCG standards for PC architecture, the core **Root of Trust Measurement (CRTM)** is synonymous with **BIOS boot block**. At this point, you have

The Human Genome has approximately 3.3 Gig base-pairs  
— Human Genome Project

## 6.1 Overview and Motivation

In this chapter, we present one more topic that is tested in ICPC—although not as frequent as graph and mathematical problems—namely, string processing. String processing is common in the research field of *bioinformatics*. However, as the strings that transistors deal with are usually constrained by efficient data structures and algorithms, string processing problems are presented as contest problems in ICPC. By mastering the content of this chapter, ICPC contestants will have a better chance at tackling these string processing problems.

String processing has also appeared in IOI, but usually with the role of reading and writing data structures or manipulating large variables [but restrictions]. Additionally, the input and output format are usually quite similar. The problems told to each contest input format are formatted commonly found in ICPC problems. IOI tasks that require string processing are usually still tasks using the problem-solving paradigms mentioned in Section 6.1. It is striking for most contestants to solve string-related problems in this chapter except Section 6.4 about string matching with DP. However, we believe that it may be advantageous for IOI contestants to learn some of the more advanced materials outside of their syllabus.

## 6.2 Basic String Processing Skills

We begin this chapter by listing several basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer must know. In this section, we give a series of mini-tasks that you should solve one after another without asking. You can use your favorite programming language (C, C++, or Java). Try your best to come up with the shortest, most efficient solution for each task.

1. Given a string that consists of alphanumeric characters [A-Za-z], digits [0-9], space, and period (`.`), write a program to read that string from the file `input.txt` — encounter a line starting with a space.
   
   Example:
   ```
   This is a string.
   ```

   Construct the output such that the last word of the processed line are separated from the first of the current line. There can be up to 30 or any of your implementations can even grow with implementations. You can also read your previous task to give an improved example. An example could be shown on the next page: After question 1(c) and before task 2.

2. Create a function that counts the number of vowels in a given string.

3. Write a program that reverses a string without using built-in functions.

4. Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome.

5. Implement a function that finds the longest substring without repeating characters.

**File: A MACHINE MADE THIS BOOK ten sketches of computer science - JOHN WHITINGTON (PDF).pdf**

This file explores the concept of data compression, specifically focusing on text compression. It argues that universal compression for all data types is impossible, but when patterns exist in data, compression becomes possible by assigning shorter codes to more frequent sequences. The file uses an example of a text passage to illustrate this concept.

**File: Data Mining Concepts and Techniques - Jiawei Han, Micheline Kamber, Jian Pei (PDF).pdf**

This file is an excerpt from a book on data mining, focusing on advanced pattern mining techniques. It discusses the concept of pattern annotation, where patterns are assigned semantic information based on their context. The file explains how to extract context indicators, representative transactions, and semantically similar patterns to create structured annotations. It also discusses the concept of redundancy-aware top-k patterns, which aim to find the most significant patterns while minimizing redundancy.

**File: Advanced Algebra - Anthony W. Knapp (PDF).pdf**

This file is a guide for readers of a book on advanced algebra, outlining the main lines of dependence between chapters. It explains the assumed knowledge of algebra required for each chapter and highlights the relationship between number theory and geometry throughout the book.

**File: Competitive Programming, 2nd Edition - Steven Halim (PDF).pdf**

This file is an excerpt from a book on competitive programming, focusing on string processing. It provides an overview of string processing, its importance in various fields, and basic string processing skills that every competitive programmer should know. The file also includes a list of problems related to string processing, categorized into different levels of difficulty.

**File: BIOS Disassembly Ninjutsu Uncovered 1st Edition - Darmawan Salihun (PDF) BIOS_Disassembly_Ninjutsu_Uncovered.pdf**

This file is an excerpt from a book on BIOS disassembly, focusing on the use of linker scripts to generate flat binary files from C and assembly source code. It explains the different sections in a linker script and how they are used to define the layout of the final binary file. The file also discusses the use of the objcopy utility to create a flat binary file from an object file.

**File: 10.24 big files.txt**

This file simply contains the text "10.24 big files". It's unclear what the context or purpose of this file is without further information.

**File: A First Encounter with Machine Learning - Max Welling (PDF).pdf**

This file is an excerpt from a book on machine learning, focusing on Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis (KCCA). It explains the concept of KCCA, which aims to find low-dimensional representations of data from two different sources (e.g., English and German documents) that are maximally correlated. The file provides a mathematical formulation of KCCA and discusses its potential applications in extracting language-independent topics.

Overall, the provided context covers a range of topics related to computer science and data mining, including data compression, pattern mining, advanced algebra, competitive programming, BIOS disassembly, and machine learning.
