In [AKL10], we showed how viewing online algorithms as reactive systems enables the application of ideas from formal verification to the competitive analysis of online algorithms....
One of the fundamental building blocks of text processing for textto-speech (TTS) synthesis is the assignment of a part-of-speech (POS) tag to each input word. POS tags are heavil...
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
Abstract. We introduce the synchronization of a pushdown automaton by a sequential transducer associating an integer to each input word. The visibly pushdown automata are the autom...
Abstract. Infants acquire spoken language through hearing and imitating utterances mainly from their parents [1,2,3] but never imitate their parents’ voices as they are. What in ...
