Directed graphs (DG), interpreted as state transition diagrams, are traditionally used to represent finite-state automata (FSA). In the context of formal languages, both FSA and regular expressions (RE) are equivalent in that they accept…
The connection between languages defined by computational models and logic for languages is well-studied. Monadic second-order logic and finite automata are shown to closely correspond to each-other for the languages of strings, trees, and…
We examine inkdots placed on the input string as a way of providing advice to finite automata, and establish the relations between this model and the previously studied models of advised finite automata. The existence of an infinite…
This paper addresses issues in part of speech disambiguation using finite-state transducers and presents two main contributions to the field. One of them is the use of finite-state machines for part of speech tagging. Linguistic and…
This paper provides a new approach to derive various arbitrary high order finite difference formulae for the numerical differentiation of analytic functions. In this approach, various first and second order formulae for the numerical…
Usually, a parser for an $LR(k)$-grammar $G$ is a deterministic pushdown transducer which produces backwards the unique rightmost derivation for a given input string $x \in L(G)$. The best known upper bound for the size of such a parser is…
Powerdomains in domain theory plays an important role in modeling the semantics of nondeterministic functional programming languages.\ In this paper,\ we extend the notion of powerdomain to the category of directed spaces,\ which is…
Using the classic two's complement notation of signed integers, the fundamental arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication are identical to those for unsigned binary numbers. We introduce a Fibonacci-equivalent of…
Extended regular expressions with counting and interleaving are widely used in practice. However the related theoretical studies for this kind of expressions currently cannot meet the need of practical work. This paper develops syntax…
We introduce the "Belief State Transformer", a next-token predictor that takes both a prefix and suffix as inputs, with a novel objective of predicting both the next token for the prefix and the previous token for the suffix. The Belief…
Transducer-based models, such as RNN-Transducer and transformer-transducer, have achieved great success in speech recognition. A typical transducer model decodes the output sequence conditioned on the current acoustic state and previously…
Recent works have revealed that Transformers are implicitly learning the syntactic information in its lower layers from data, albeit is highly dependent on the quality and scale of the training data. However, learning syntactic information…
Existing refinement calculi provide frameworks for the stepwise development of imperative programs from specifications. This paper presents a refinement calculus for deriving logic programs. The calculus contains a wide-spectrum logic…
Exactly solving first-order constraints (i.e., first-order formulas over a certain predefined structure) can be a very hard, or even undecidable problem. In continuous structures like the real numbers it is promising to compute approximate…
Linear computation coding is concerned with the compression of multidimensional linear functions, i.e. with reducing the computational effort of multiplying an arbitrary vector to an arbitrary, but known, constant matrix. This paper…
Sequence representations supporting queries $access$, $select$ and $rank$ are at the core of many data structures. There is a considerable gap between the various upper bounds and the few lower bounds known for such representations, and how…
We introduce a neural semantic parser that converts natural language utterances to intermediate representations in the form of predicate-argument structures, which are induced with a transition system and subsequently mapped to target…
We show that many infinite classes of permutations over finite fields can be constructed via translators with a large choice of parameters. We first charac- terize some functions having linear translators, based on which several families of…
This paper presents a grammar formalism designed for use in data-oriented approaches to language processing. The formalism is best described as a right-linear indexed grammar extended in linguistically interesting ways. The paper goes on to…
Placeholder translation systems enable the users to specify how a specific phrase is translated in the output sentence. The system is trained to output special placeholder tokens, and the user-specified term is injected into the output…
