Abstract
A pattern matching method for matching between a first symbol sequence and a second symbol sequence which is shorter than the first symbol sequence is provided. The method includes the steps of performing DP matching between the first and second symbol sequences to create a matrix of the DP matching transition, detecting the maximum length of lengths of consecutive correct answers based on the matrix of the DP matching transition, and calculating similarity based on the maximum length.
