The Copying Power of One-State Tree Transducers
1978
DAIMI Report Series
One-state deterministic top-down transducers (or tree homomorphisms) cannot handle "prime copying", i.e. their class of output (string) languages is not closed under the operation L ( -> { (w)^f(n) ...
The exact amount of nonclosure under these copying operations is established for several classes of input (tree) languages. ...
In this paper we investigate the copying power of one-state top-down tree transducers and (multi-state) bottom-up tree transducers with respect to these copying operations. ...

Many of these composition results are first found in Engelfriet (1975).
The power of T to change the structure of an input tree is surprising. ...
At each point in the top-down traversal, the transducer chooses a produc- tion to apply, based only on the current state and the current root symbol. ...

Tree transducers, L systems, and two-way machines

Restrictions on the "copying power" of these devices endow them with rich structuring and give insight into the issues of determinism, parallelism, and copying. ...

It should be clear that the number of states of a topdown tree transducer (the number of "active" symbols of an ETOL system) is directly related to its "copying power." ...

Linear deterministic multi bottom-up tree transducers

Theoretical Computer Science
In this paper we focus on the class ld-MBOT of tree transformations which are computed by linear deterministic multi bottom-up tree transducers. ...
If deterministic top-down tree transducers are extended by the capability to recognize regular tree properties and deterministic bottom-up tree transducers are generalized by allowing states with arbitrary ...
Acknowledgements We would like to thank the referees for their helpful comments; in particular, one of the referees indicated how to shorten the paper considerably. ...

Tiburon: A Weighted Tree Automata Toolkit
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The availability of weighted finite-state string automata toolkits made possible great advances in natural language processing. ...
To combat this problem, we introduce a weighted finite-state tree automata toolkit, which incorporates recent developments in weighted tree automata theory and is useful for natural language applications ...
As seen above, the image of a tree onto a tree-to-tree transducer is a wRTG. The image of a tree onto a tree-to-string transducer is a wCFG, currently represented in Tiburon as a one-state wRTG. ...

More precisely, it constitutes the composition closure of the class of transformations computed by finite-copying top-down tree transducers. ...
The class of transformations computed by the latter device is shown to be closed under composition, and to be included in the composition of the class of transformations computed by top-down tree transducers ...
Acknowledgments The author is grateful to the anonymous referees for their insightful remarks on the draft version of the paper. Especially one referee improved the presentation dramatically. ...

Typechecking Top-Down Uniform Unranked Tree Transducers
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We focus on simple top-down recursive transformations motivated by XSLT and structural recursion on trees. ...
As typechecking quickly turns undecidable for query languages capable of testing equality of data values, we return to the limited framework where we abstract XML documents as labeled ordered trees. ...
In the construction, we exploit the copying power of transducers to make n copies of the input tree: one for each A i . ...

Three hierarchies of transducers

Composition of top-down tree transducers yields a proper hierarchy of transductions and of output languages. ...
The same is true for ETOL systems (viewed as transducers) and for two-way generalized sequential machines. ...

Frontiers of tractability for typechecking simple XML transformations

Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
Typechecking consists of statically verifying whether the output of an XML transformation is always conform to an output type for documents satisfying a given input type. ...
We focus on complete algorithms which always produce the correct answer. ...
Acknowledgment We thank Giorgio Ghelli for raising the question about the complexity of typechecking in the setting of a fixed output schema. We thank Dirk Leinders, Thomas Schwentick, and ...

Capturing practical natural language transformations

Machine Translation
For several variations of finite-state string and tree transducers, we survey answers to formal questions about their expressiveness, modularity, teachability, and generalization. ...
We study automata for capturing the transformations in practical natural language processing systems, especially those that translate between human languages. ...
For example, it appears that bottom-up transducers are not expressive, even with copying and deleting power. ...

XML transformation by tree-walking transducers with invisible pebbles
2007
Proceedings of the twenty-sixth ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGART symposium on Principles of database systems - PODS '07
The pebble tree automaton and the pebble tree transducer are enhanced by additionally allowing an unbounded number of 'invisible' pebbles (as opposed to the usual 'visible' ones). ...
The resulting pebble tree transducers can apply arbitrary MSO definable tests to (the observable part of) their configurations, they (still) have a decidable typechecking problem, and they can model the ...

Tree Transducers and Tree Compressions
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A more powerful way of tree compression is to allow the sharing of tree patterns, i.e., internal parts of the tree. ...
The resulting "sharing graph" is at most double-exponentially smaller than the original tree. Consider a macro tree transducer and an input tree s. ...
The first author is grateful to Markus Lohrey for providing many useful references, and in particular for the introduction to the concept of sharing graphs. ...
