Weighted monadic second-order logic is a weighted extension of monadic second-order logic that captures exactly the behaviour of weighted automata. Its semantics is parameterized with respect to a semiring on which the values that weighted…

Subzero automata is a class of tree automata whose acceptance condition can express probabilistic constraints. Our main result is that the problem of determining if a subzero automaton accepts some regular tree is decidable.

Probabilistic automata are an extension of nondeterministic finite automata in which transitions are annotated with probabilities. Despite its simplicity, this model is very expressive and many of the associated algorithmic questions are…

We consider the problem of minimising the number of states in a multiplicity tree automaton over the field of rational numbers. We give a minimisation algorithm that runs in polynomial time assuming unit-cost arithmetic. We also show that a…

Finite automata with weights in the max-plus semiring are considered. The main result is: it is decidable in an effective way whether a series that is recognized by a finitely ambiguous max-plus automaton is unambiguous, or is sequential. A…

This work presents an approach to automatically induction for non-greedy decision trees constructed from neural network architecture. This construction can be used to transfer weights when growing or pruning a decision tree, allowing…

Automata learning is a technique that has successfully been applied in verification, with the automaton type varying depending on the application domain. Adaptations of automata learning algorithms for increasingly complex types of automata…

Data trees are trees in which each node, besides carrying a label from a finite alphabet, also carries a data value from an infinite domain. They have been used as an abstraction model for reasoning tasks on {XML} and verification. However,…

Arden's Lemma is a classical result in language theory allowing the computation of a rational expression denoting the language recognized by a finite string automaton. In this paper we generalize this important lemma to the rational tree…

You might know that the name "tree transducers" refers to various kinds of automata that compute functions on ranked trees, i.e. terms over a first-order signature. But have you ever wondered about how to remember what a macro tree…

Using recent developments in coalgebraic and monad-based semantics, we present a uniform study of various notions of machines, e.g. finite state machines, multi-stack machines, Turing machines, valence automata, and weighted automata. They…

Weighted automata over the nonnegative reals form a fundamental model for quantitative languages. We show that, up to scaling, this model collapses to probabilistic automata. Concretely, we prove that every weighted automaton whose…

There is a fundamental difficulty in generalizing weighted automata to the case of infinite words: in general the infinite sum-of-products from which the weight of a given word is derived will diverge. Many solutions to this problem have…

The paper is devoted to two types of algebraic models of automata. The usual (first type) model leads to the developed decomposition theory (Krohn-Rhodes theory). We introduce another type of automata model and study how these automata are…

We present pumping lemmas for five classes of functions definable by fragments of weighted automata over the min-plus semiring, the max-plus semiring and the semiring of natural numbers. As a corollary we show that the hierarchy of…

We give a new simple proof of the decidability of the First Order Theory of (omega^omega^i,+) and the Monadic Second Order Theory of (omega^i,<), improving the complexity in both cases. Our algorithm is based on tree automata and a new…

Weighted automata are a generalization of nondeterministic automata that associate a weight drawn from a semiring $K$ with every transition and every state. Their behaviours can be formalized either as weighted language equivalence or…

Trees or rooted trees have been generously studied in the literature. A forest is a set of trees or rooted trees. Here we give recurrence relations between the number of some kind of rooted forest with $k$ roots and that with $k+1$ roots on…

Inspired by distributed algorithms, we introduce a new class of finite graph automata that recognize precisely the graph languages definable in monadic second-order logic. For the cases of words and trees, it has been long known that the…

Active learning of finite automata has been vigorously pursued for the purposes of analysis and explanation of black-box systems. In this paper, we study an L*-style learning algorithm for weighted automata over the max-plus semiring. The…
