In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to learn a B\"uchi automaton from a teacher who knows an $\omega$-regular language. The algorithm is based on learning a formalism named family of DFAs (FDFAs) recently proposed by Angluin and…

Extracting finite state automata (FSAs) from black-box models offers a powerful approach to gaining interpretable insights into complex model behaviors. To support this pursuit, we present a weighted variant of Angluin's (1987)…

We show that weighted automata over the field of two elements can be exponentially more compact than non-deterministic finite state automata. To show this, we combine ideas from automata theory and communication complexity. However,…

We study minimization problems for deterministic $\omega$-automata in the presence of don't care words. We prove that the number of priorities in deterministic parity automata can be efficiently minimized under an arbitrary set of don't…

We describe a minimization procedure for nondeterministic B\"uchi automata (NBA). For an automaton A another automaton A_min with the minimal number of states is learned with the help of a SAT-solver. This is done by successively computing…

We present an extended automata learning framework that combines active automata learning with deductive inference. The learning algorithm asks membership and equivalence queries as in the original framework, but it is also given advice,…
