We consider grammar-restricted exact learning of formulas and terms in finite variable logics. We propose a novel and versatile automata-theoretic technique for solving such problems. We first show results for learning formulas that…
Recently, ranking-based semantics is proposed to rank-order arguments from the most acceptable to the weakest one(s), which provides a graded assessment to arguments. In general, the ranking on arguments is derived from the strength values…
We show that families of action graphs, with initial graphs which are linear of varying length, give rise to self-convolutions of the Catalan sequence. We prove this result via a comparison with planar rooted forests with a fixed number of…
A Catalan word is a sequence $w_1w_2\cdots w_n$ of nonnegative integers such that $w_1=0$ and $w_{i}\leq w_{i-1}+1$ for $2\leq i\leq n$. Given a Catalan word, we construct a column-convex polyomino (or \emph{bargraph}) by placing, at…
Prompted models have demonstrated impressive few-shot learning abilities. Repeated interactions at test-time with a single model, or the composition of multiple models together, further expands capabilities. These compositions are…
We investigate the coefficients generated by expressing the falling factorial $(xy)_k$ as a linear combination of falling factorial products $(x)_l (y)_m$ for $l,m =1,...,k$. Algebraic and combinatoric properties of these coefficients are…
This article presents a combinatorial result on indexed languages which was inspired by an attempt to understand the structure of groups with indexed language word problem. We show that a sufficiently long word in an indexed language can be…
We provide an efficient encoding of the natural numbers {0,1,2,3,...} as strings of nested parentheses {(),(()),(()()),((())),...}, or considered inversely, an efficient enumeration of such strings. The technique is based on the recursive…
Word-level saliency explanations ("heat maps over words") are often used to communicate feature-attribution in text-based models. Recent studies found that superficial factors such as word length can distort human interpretation of the…
Following Benjamin et al., a matrix with entries being sums of two neighbouring Catalan numbers is considered. Its LU-decomposition is given, by guessing the results and later prove it by computer algebra, with lots of human help.…
We give a unified description of twisted forms of classical reductive groups schemes. Such group schemes are constructed from algebraic objects of finite rank, excluding some exceptions of small rank. These objects, augmented odd form…
The q-Catalan numbers studied by Carlitz and Riordan are polynomials in q with nonnegative coefficients. They evaluate, at q=1, to the Catalan numbers: 1, 1, 2, 5, 14,..., a log-convex sequence. We use a combinatorial interpretation of…
We show that recent determinant evaluations involving Catalan numbers and generalisations thereof have most convenient explanations by combining the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot theorem on non-intersecting lattice paths with a simple…
In his pioneering research, G. K. Zipf formulated a couple of statistical laws on the relationship between the frequency of a word with its number of meanings: the law of meaning distribution, relating the frequency of a word and its…
This paper defines multiset-valued linear index grammar and unordered vector grammar with dominance links. The former models certain uses of multiset-valued feature structures in unification-based formalisms, while the latter is motivated…
We investigate inflection structure of a synthetic language using Latin as an example. We construct a bipartite graph in which one group of vertices correspond to dictionary headwords and the other group to inflected forms encountered in a…
Compositionality in language refers to how much the meaning of some phrase can be decomposed into the meaning of its constituents and the way these constituents are combined. Based on the premise that substitution by synonyms is…
In this paper, we investigate the order types of reflection orders on irreducible affine Weyl groups. We show that they are intimately related to the Catalan combinatorics. We explicitly describe all of those order types and show that these…
We give some elementary manifestly positive formulae for the Kronecker products s_(d,d) * s_(d+k,d-k) and s_(d,d) * s_(2d-k,1^k). These formulae demonstrate some fundamental properties of the Kronecker coefficients, and we use them to…
In this paper we show that many well-known counting coefficients, including the Catalan numbers, the Motzkin numbers, the central binomial coefficients, the central Delannoy numbers are Hausdorff moment sequences in a unified approach. In…
