Abstract. The relationship between automata and logics has been investigated since the 1960s. In particular, it was shown how to determine, given an automaton, whether or not it is...
We propose and analyze a distribution learning algorithm for variable memory length Markov processes. These processes can be described by a subclass of probabilistic nite automata...
We consider the problem of identifying the consensus ranking for the results of a query, given preferences among those results from a set of individual users. Once consensus ranki...
