A Lower Bound for Learning Distributions Generated by Probabilistic Automata
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Finally, we show a lower bound: every algorithm to learn PDFA using queries with a resonable tolerance needs a number of queries larger than (1/µ) c for every c < 1. ...
We show that the dependence on µ is necessary for every algorithm whose structure resembles existing ones. As a technical tool, a new variant of Statistical Queries termed L∞-queries is defined. ...
A problem that was shown to be NP-hard for the case of distributions generated by probabilistic automata in [14] . ...

Improvement of the State Merging Rule on Noisy Data in Probabilistic Grammatical Inference
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we study the influence of noise in probabilistic grammatical inference. We paradoxically bring out the idea that specialized automata deal better with noisy data than more general ones. ...
We propose then to replace the statistical test of the Alergia algorithm by a more restrictive merging rule based on a test of proportion comparison. ...
We also want to thank Thierry Murgue for his help and for his experience in the evaluation of PFSA. ...

Compositional Verification of Probabilistic Systems Using Learning

2010 Seventh International Conference on the Quantitative Evaluation of Systems
To overcome this, we propose a novel learning technique based on the L* algorithm, which automatically generates probabilistic assumptions using the results of queries executed by a probabilistic model ...
Our approach builds upon a recently proposed assume-guarantee framework for probabilistic automata, in which assumptions and guarantees are probabilistic safety properties, represented using finite automata ...

pre-print
Learning these automata often amounts to recovering or reverse engineering the model generating the data despite noisy, incomplete, or imperfectly sampled data sources rather than optimizing a purely numeric ...
We present an interactive version of an evidence-driven state-merging (EDSM) algorithm for learning variants of finite state automata. ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we extend the PAC learning algorithm due to Clark and Thollard for learning distributions generated by PDFA to automata whose transitions may take varying time lengths, governed by exponential ...

2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Using an analog of the Myhill-Nerode theorem for probabilistic automata, we analyze µ-distinguishability and generalize it to µp-distinguishability. ...
Efficient learnability using the state merging algorithm is known for a subclass of probabilistic automata termed µ-distinguishable. ...
