{"id":"aristoteActiveLearningUpwardclosed2025a","abstract":"We give a new proof of a result from well quasi-order theory on the computability of bases for upwards-closed sets of words. This new proof is based on Angluin's L* algorithm, that learns an automaton from a minimally adequate teacher. This relates in particular two results from the 1980s: Angluin's L* algorithm, and a result from Valk and Jantzen on the computability of bases for upwards-closed sets of tuples of integers.\n\nAlong the way, we describe an algorithm for learning quasi-ordered automata from a minimally adequate teacher, and extend a generalization of Valk and Jantzen's result, encompassing both words and integers, to finitely generated monoids.","author":[{"family":"Aristote","given":"Quentin"}],"citation-key":"aristoteActiveLearningUpwardclosed2025a","event-place":"Glasgow, Scotland","event-title":"11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)","genre":"conference","issued":{"date-parts":[["2025",6,17]]},"language":"en","note":"slides: https://coalg.org/calco-mfps-2025/slides/2-Tuesday/4-Session3/1-QuentinAristote.pdf","publisher-place":"Glasgow, Scotland","title":"Active learning of upward-closed sets of words","type":"speech","URL":"https://coalg.org/calco-mfps-2025/calco/"},

{"id":"aristoteLearningWeightedAutomata2025a","abstract":"We study automata weighted over number rings, that is, rings of integers in an algebraic number field.\n\nWe show that number rings are what we call \"almost strong Fatou\": if an n-state automaton weighted in a number field recognizes an integer-valued series, then it admits an equivalent n+1-state automaton weighted in the corresponding ring of integers.\n\nWe give a polynomial-time algorithm for computing such an n+1-state automaton, and show that removing any more states is at least as hard as solving the principal ideal problem, for which the best currently known algorithm is in quantum polynomial time.\n\nFinally, we will see how this procedure can be used to reduce active learning problems in number rings to active learning problems in fields. If time allows, I will also give a brief explanation of how this generalizes to a generic reduction procedure between active learning problems for automata valued in different categories.","author":[{"family":"Aristote","given":"Quentin"}],"citation-key":"aristoteLearningWeightedAutomata2025a","event-place":"Marseille, France","event-title":"MoVe seminar (LiS)","genre":"seminar","issued":{"date-parts":[["2025",3,28]]},"language":"en","note":"slides: https://gitlab.math.univ-paris-diderot.fr/-/project/996/uploads/8b14ed9a7383f9776fc69aa03003890a/dedekind-weighted-automata.pdf","publisher-place":"Marseille, France","title":"Learning weighted automata over number rings, concretely (and categorically)","type":"speech","URL":"https://move.lis-lab.fr/seminars"},
