Talk:Optimal string alignment

Shouldn't this rather redirect to Hirschberg's algorithm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.220.49.182 (talk • contribs)
 * I don't think so. The alignment is the result of an edit distance computation. Hirschberg's is one of several algorithms that can produce an alignment. "Optimal" here means "having minimum edit distance", not "using minimal memory". —David Eppstein (talk) 07:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
