We study here the so called subsequence pattern matching also known as hidden pattern matching in which one searches for a given pattern $w$ of length $m$ as a subsequence in a random text of length $n$. The quantity of interest is the…
The challenge of slang translation lies in capturing context-dependent semantic extensions, as slang terms often convey meanings beyond their literal interpretation. While slang detection, explanation, and translation have been studied as…
This paper provides an upper bound for several subsets of maximal repeats and maximal pairs in compressed strings and also presents a formerly unknown relationship between maximal pairs and the run-length Burrows-Wheeler transform. This…
The equidistant subsequence pattern matching problem is considered. Given a pattern string $P$ and a text string $T$, we say that $P$ is an \emph{equidistant subsequence} of $T$ if $P$ is a subsequence of the text such that consecutive…
This paper gives a structural explanation for the Z-relation by modelling pitch-class sets as complete weighted graphs and encoding their interval content in a composition of $n$ via an additivity rule. We introduce the realization number…
Zipf's law has been found in many human-related fields, including language, where the frequency of a word is persistently found as a power law function of its frequency rank, known as Zipf's law. However, there is much dispute whether it is…
Lyndon factorization and Lempel-Ziv (LZ) factorization are both important tools for analysing the structure and complexity of strings, but their combinatorial structure is very different. In this paper, we establish the first direct…
Recent work in cross-lingual semantic parsing has successfully applied machine translation to localize parsers to new languages. However, these advances assume access to high-quality machine translation systems and word alignment tools. We…
A tower is a sequence of words alternating between two languages in such a way that every word is a subsequence of the following word. The height of the tower is the number of words in the sequence. If there is no infinite tower (a tower of…
The ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to encode syntactic and semantic structures of language is well examined in NLP. Additionally, analogy identification, in the form of word analogies are extensively studied in the last decade of…
Strings in the real world are often encoded with some level of uncertainty. In the character-level uncertainty model, an uncertain string $X$ of length $n$ on an alphabet $\Sigma$ is a sequence of $n$ probability distributions over…
Mauer et al. [A Lempel-Ziv-style Compression Method for Repetitive Texts, PSC 2017] proposed a hybrid text compression method called LZ-LFS which has both features of Lempel-Ziv 77 factorization and longest first substitution. They showed…
We consider first-order logic over the subword ordering on finite words, where each word is available as a constant. Our first result is that the $\Sigma_1$ theory is undecidable (already over two letters). We investigate the decidability…
There is inherent information captured in the order in which we write words in a list. The orderings of binomials --- lists of two words separated by `and' or `or' --- has been studied for more than a century. These binomials are common…
A morphic word is obtained by iterating a morphism to generate an infinite word, and then applying a coding. We characterize morphic words with polynomial growth in terms of a new type of infinite word called a $\textit{zigzag word}$. A…
Given a string $P$ of length $m$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ of size $\sigma$, a swapped version of $P$ is a string derived from $P$ by a series of local swaps, i.e., swaps of adjacent symbols, such that each symbol can participate in at most…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown their power in different areas. Attention computation, as an important subroutine of LLMs, has also attracted interests in theory. Recently the static computation and dynamic maintenance of attention…
An overlap-free (or $\beta$-free) word $w$ over a fixed alphabet $\Sigma$ is extremal if every word obtained from $w$ by inserting a single letter from $\Sigma$ at any position contains an overlap (or a factor of exponent at least $\beta$,…
We study random spatial permutations on Z^3 where each jump x -> \pi(x) is penalized by a factor exp(-T ||x-\pi(x)||^2). The system is known to exhibit a phase transition for low enough T where macroscopic cycles appear. We observe that the…
Despite renewed interest in emergent language simulations with neural networks, little is known about the basic properties of the induced code, and how they compare to human language. One fundamental characteristic of the latter, known as…
