Abstract. We present a reflection on the evolution of the different methods for constructing minimal deterministic acyclic finite-state automata from a finite set of words. We ...
We consider the use of state elimination to construct shorter regular expressions from finite-state automata. Although state elimination is an intuitive method for computing regul...
We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...
