中文摘要：

对于给定的两个字符串集合，基于相似度的连接操作可用于从中找出相似的字符串对，该操作是数据清洗、数据集成以及协同过滤等应用中的核心操作之一，其执行效率直接影响系统的整体性能。本文提出一种高效计算字符串集合间连接操作的算法Trie-TSS，该方法基于trie树进行处理，利用对称性来减少冗余计算。提出一种旨在减少冗余编辑距离计算操作的优化技术来进一步提升系统性能。最后通过实验验证了Trie-TSS算法的高效性。

英文摘要：

For two given sets of strings, join operation is used to find similar string pairs based on string similarity. It is one of the essential operations in many applications, such as data integration, data cleaning, and collaborative filtering. A new trie-based al- gorithm, namely Trie-TSS, which uses the symmetry of edit distance to reduce redundant computation, is proposed. Then a new pruning technique is suggested to further reduce the unnecessary computation so as to improve the overall performance. The ex-perimental results show the efficiency of our method according to various metrics.
