We investigate a learning algorithm in the context of nominal automata, an extension of classical automata to alphabets featuring names. This class of automata captures nominal regular languages; analogously to the classical language…

Probabilistic automata are an extension of nondeterministic finite automata in which transitions are annotated with probabilities. Despite its simplicity, this model is very expressive and many of the associated algorithmic questions are…

We consider the complexity of equivalence and learning for multiplicity tree automata, i.e., weighted tree automata over a field. We first show that the equivalence problem is logspace equivalent to polynomial identity testing, the…

Multiset automata are a class of automata for which the symbols can be read in any order and obtain the same result. We investigate weighted multiset automata and show how to construct them from weighted regular expressions. We present…

We propose a query learning algorithm for residual symbolic finite automata (RSFAs). Symbolic finite automata (SFAs) are finite automata whose transitions are labeled by predicates over a Boolean algebra, in which a big collection of…

A major problem in computational learning theory is whether the class of formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF) is efficiently learnable. Although it is known that this class cannot be polynomially learned using either membership or…

Finite automata are used to encode geometric figures, functions and can be used for image compression and processing. The original approach is to represent each point of a figure in $\mathbb{R}^n$ as a convolution of its $n$ coordinates…
