We study transformers' in-context learning of variable-length Markov chains (VOMCs), focusing on the finite-sample accuracy as the number of in-context examples increases. Compared to fixed-order Markov chains (FOMCs), learning VOMCs is…

Given complex numbers $w_1, \ldots, w_n$, we define the weight $w(X)$ of a set $X$ of 0-1 vectors as the sum of $w_1^{x_1} \cdots w_n^{x_n}$ over all vectors $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ in $X$. We present an algorithm, which for a set $X$ defined…
