Inference of Reversible Languages

Abstract

A famdy of efficient algorithms for referring certain subclasses of the regular languages from fmtte posttwe samples is presented These subclasses are the k-reversible languages, for k = 0, 1, 2, ....For each k there is an algorithm for finding the smallest k-reversible language containing any fimte posluve sample.It ts shown how to use this algorithm to do correct identification m the ILmlt of the kreversible languages from posmve data A reversible language is one that Is k-reverstble for some k __ 0. An efficient algonthrn is presented for mfernng reversible languages from posmve and negative examples, and it is shown that it leads to correct identification m the hmlt of the class of reversible languages.Numerous examples are gtven to dlustrate the algorithms and their behawor Categories and Subject Descriptors F 1 1 [Computation by Abstract Devices] Models of ComputaUon-automata, F 4 3 [Mathematical Logic and Formal Languages] Formal Languages--classes defined by grammars or automata; 1 2 6 [Artificial Intelligence] Learnmg--mductlon, 1.5 1 [Pattern Recognition] Models--structural

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
