Efficient Pruning of Probabilistic Automata
[chapter]

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We propose in this article a method for pruning automata (when restricted to tree based structures) which is not only efficient (sub-quadratic) but that allows to dramatically reduce the size of the automaton ...
Applications of probabilistic grammatical inference are limited due to time and space consuming constraints. ...

Distilling weighted finite automata from arbitrary probabilistic models
2019
Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing
Weighted finite automata (WFA) are often used to represent probabilistic models, such as n-gram language models, since they are efficient for recognition tasks in time and space. ...
The proposed algorithm involves a counting step and a difference of convex optimization, both of which can be performed efficiently. ...
The quantity γ(q s , q a ) can be computed as γ(q s , q a ) = π∈P * S∩A ((is,ia),(qs,qa)) w[π] where S ∩ A is the weighted intersection of automata S and A formed using an efficient ϕ-WFA intersection ...

We consider the problem of approximate reduction of non-deterministic automata that appear in hardware-accelerated network intrusion detection systems (NIDSes). ...
We define an error distance of a reduced automaton from the original one as the probability of packets being incorrectly classified by the reduced automaton (wrt the probabilistic distribution of packets ...
We discuss the complexity of computing the probabilistic distance. Finally, we formulate two problems of approximate automata reduction via probabilistic distance. ...
