چکیده

It is known that the neighborhood of a regular language with respect to an additive distance is regular. We introduce an additive weighted finite automaton model that provides a conceptually simple way to reprove this result. We consider the state complexity of converting additive weighted finite automata to deterministic finite automata. As our main result we establish a tight upper bound for the state complexity of the conversion.

Reduction of Computational Complexity in Finite State Automata Explosion of Networked System Diagnosis (RESEARCH NOTE)

This research puts forward rough finite state automata which have been represented by two variants of BDD called ROBDD and ZBDD. The proposed structures have been used in networked system diagnosis and can overcome cominatorial explosion. In implementation the CUDD - Colorado University Decision Diagrams package is used. A mathematical proof for claimed complexity are provided which shows ZBDD ...

Quasi-Distances and Weighted Finite Automata

We show that the neighbourhood of a regular language L with respect to an additive quasi-distance can be recognized by an additive weighted finite automaton (WFA). The size of the WFA is the same as the size of an NFA (nondeterministic finite automaton) for L and the construction gives an upper bound for the state complexity of a neighbourhood of a regular language with respect to a quasi-dista...

Weighted Finite-State Transducer Algorithms An Overview

Weighted finite-state transducers are used in many applications such as text, speech and image processing. This chapter gives an overview of several recent weighted transducer algorithms, including composition of weighted transducers, determinization of weighted automata, a weight pushing algorithm, and minimization of weighted automata. It briefly describes these algorithms, discusses their ru...

The Inclusion Problem for Weighted Automata on Infinite Trees

Weighted automata can be seen as a natural generalization of finite state automata to more complex algebraic structures. The standard reasoning tasks for unweighted automata can also be generalized to the weighted setting. In this paper we study the problems of intersection, complementation and inclusion for weighted automata on infinite trees and show that they are not harder complexity-wise t...

On the Rademacher Complexity of Weighted Automata

Weighted automata (WFAs) provide a general framework for the representation of functions mapping strings to real numbers. They include as special instances deterministic finite automata (DFAs), hidden Markov models (HMMs), and predictive states representations (PSRs). In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in weighted automata in machine learning due to the development of efficient ...
