We propose a new extension of higher-order pushdown automata, which allows to use an infinite alphabet. The new automata recognize languages of data words (instead of normal words), which beside each its letter from a finite alphabet have a…

The aim of Logic2Text is to generate controllable and faithful texts conditioned on tables and logical forms, which not only requires a deep understanding of the tables and logical forms, but also warrants symbolic reasoning over the…

We introduce a model of one-way language acceptors (a variant of a checking stack automaton) and show the following decidability properties: (1) The deterministic version has a decidable membership problem but has an undecidable emptiness…

In automata theory, while determinisation provides a standard route to solving many common problems in automata theory, some weak forms of nondeterminism can be dealt with in some problems without costly determinisation. For example, the…

We study complexity of the model-checking problems for LTL with registers (also known as freeze LTL) and for first-order logic with data equality tests over one-counter automata. We consider several classes of one-counter automata (mainly…

We re-investigate the problem of LTL model-checking for finite-state systems. Typical solutions, like in Spin, work on the fly, reducing the problem to Buechi emptiness. This can be done in linear time, and a variety of algorithms with this…

Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) have demonstrated immense potential in autonomous driving (AD) by offering human-like reasoning and open-world generalization. However, the excessive computational overhead and high…

We present an algorithm for query evaluation given a logic program consisting of function-free Datalog rules. It is based on Earley Deduction [4, 6] and uses a partial evaluation similar to the one we devel oped for our SLDMagic method [1].…

Linguistic theories formulated in the architecture of {\sc hpsg} can be very precise and explicit since {\sc hpsg} provides a formally well-defined setup. However, when querying a faithful implementation of such an explicit theory, the…
