Nominal sets provide a foundation for reasoning about names. They are used primarily in syntax with binders, but also, e.g., to model automata over infinite alphabets. In this paper, nominal sets are related to nominal renaming sets, which…
Nominal set plays a central role in a group-theoretic extension of finite automata to those over an infinite set of data values. Moerman et al. proposed an active learning algorithm for nominal word automata with the equality symmetry. In…
Many formal languages include binders as well as operators that satisfy equational axioms, such as commutativity. Here we consider the nominal language, a general formal framework which provides support for the representation of binders,…
We present an algorithm for active learning of deterministic timed automata with multiple clocks. The algorithm is within the querying framework of Angluin's $L^*$ algorithm and follows the idea proposed in existing work on the active…
Learning automata by queries is a long-studied area initiated by Angluin in 1987 with the introduction of the $L^*$ algorithm to learn regular languages, with a large body of work afterwards on many different variations and generalizations…
We present a new learning algorithm for realtime one-counter automata. Our algorithm uses membership and equivalence queries as in Angluin's L* algorithm, as well as counter value queries and partial equivalence queries. In a partial…
We present an extension of the Angluin-style learning algorithm for tree automata that incorporates deductive inference. The learning algorithm is provided with a term rewriting system that specifies properties of the target tree language…
The well-known Nerode equivalence for finite words plays a fundamental role in our understanding of the class of regular languages. The equivalence leads to the Myhill-Nerode theorem and a canonical automaton, which in turn, is the basis of…
We introduce a certain restriction of weighted automata over the rationals, called image-binary automata. We show that such automata accept the regular languages, can be exponentially more succinct than corresponding NFAs, and allow for…

Data trees serve as an abstraction of structured data, such as XML documents. A number of specification formalisms for languages of data trees have been developed, many of them adhering to the paradigm of register automata, which is based…
Active automata learning in the framework of Angluin's $L^*$ algorithm has been applied to learning many kinds of automata models. In applications to timed models such as timed automata, the main challenge is to determine guards on the…
We study languages over infinite alphabets equipped with some structure that can be tested by recognizing automata. We develop a framework for studying such alphabets and the ensuing automata theory, where the key role is played by an…

We show how to compute efficiently with nominal sets over the total order symmetry, by developing a direct representation of such nominal sets and basic constructions thereon. In contrast to previous approaches, we work directly at the…
We define a class of languages of infinite words over infinite alphabets, and the corresponding automata. The automata used for recognition are a generalisation of deterministic Muller automata to the setting of nominal sets. Remarkably,…
The use of monoids in the study of word languages recognized by finite-state automata has been quite fruitful. In this work, we look at the same idea of "recognizability by finite monoids" for other monoids. In particular, we attempt to…
We propose an unsupervised neural model for learning a discrete embedding of words. Unlike existing discrete embeddings, our binary embedding supports vector arithmetic operations similar to continuous embeddings. Our embedding represents…
