Using finite-state automata for the text analysis component in a text-to-speech system is problematic in several respects: the rewrite rules from which the automata are compiled a...
Abstract. We extend the automata-theoretic framework for reasoning about infinitestate sequential systems to handle also the global model-checking problem. Our framework is based o...
A tree automaton with global tree equality and disequality constraints, TAGED for short, is an automaton on trees which allows to test (dis)equalities between subtrees which may be...
We introduce the class of Rigid Tree Automata (RTA), an extension of standard bottom-up automata on ranked trees with distinguished states called rigid. Rigid states define a res...
We propose a technique for pattern classification in symbolic streams via selective erasure of observed symbols, in cases where the patterns of interest are represented as Probabil...
