- We study monoidal transducers, transition systems arising as deterministic
- automata whose transitions also produce outputs in an arbitrary monoid, for
- instance allowing outputs to commute or to cancel out. We use the
- categorical framework for minimization and learning of Colcombet, Petrişan
- and Stabile to recover the notion of minimal transducer recognizing a
- language, and give necessary and sufficient conditions on the output monoid
- for this minimal transducer to exist and be unique (up to isomorphism). The
- categorical framework then provides an abstract algorithm for learning it
- using membership and equivalence queries, and we discuss practical aspects
- of this algorithm’s implementation.

- 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.
-
-
- Along 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.

- abstract: >-
- We study automata weighted over number rings, that is, rings of integers in
- an algebraic number field.
-
-
- We 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.
-
-
- We 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.
-
-
- Finally, 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.

- abstract: >-
- We develop a generic reduction procedure for active learning problems. Our
- approach is inspired by a recent polynomial-time reduction of the exact
- learning problem for weighted automata over integers to that for weighted
- automata over rationals (Buna-Marginean et al. 2024). Our procedure improves
- the efficiency of a category-theoretic automata learning algorithm, and
- poses new questions about the complexity of its implementation when
- instantiated to concrete categories.
-
-
- As our second main contribution, we address these complexity aspects in the
- concrete setting of learning weighted automata over number rings, that is,
- rings of integers in an algebraic number field. Assuming a full
- representation of a number ring OK, we obtain an exact learning algorithm of
- OK-weighted automata that runs in polynomial time in the size of the target
- automaton, the logarithm of the length of the longest counterexample, the
- degree of the number field, and the logarithm of its discriminant. Our
- algorithm produces an automaton that has at most one more state than the
- minimal one, and we prove that doing better requires solving the principal
- ideal problem, for which the best currently known algorithm is in quantum
- polynomial time.

- Within the study of the semantics of programming languages, computational
- effects may be modelled with monads, and weak distributive laws between
- monads are then a tool to combine two such effects.
-
-
- In both the category of sets and the category of compact Hausdorff spaces,
- there is a monotone weak distributive law that combines two layers of
- non-determinism. Noticing the similarity between these two laws, we study
- whether the latter can be obtained automatically as some sort of lifting of
- the former.
-
-
- More specifically, we show how a framework for constructing monotone weak
- distributive laws in regular categories lifts to categories of algebras,
- giving a full characterization for the existence of monotone weak
- distributive laws therein. We then exhibit such a law, combining
- probabilities and non-determinism, in compact Hausdorff spaces; but we also
- show how such laws do not exist in a lot of other cases.

- abstract: >-
- When studying the semantics of programming languages, monads are a tool to
- model computational effects. Given two monads modelling two effects, a
- natural question is whether one can build a composed monad modelling the
- combination of these two effects. There is a generic way to do this when
- there exists a monotone weak distributive law between the two monads.
-
-
- Monotone weak distributive laws are a recently-developed mathematical tool,
- and the first part of the talk will focus on introducing them and giving
- several examples. The second part of the talk will then focus on the main
- result from [1], which gives a full characterization for the existence of
- monotone weak distributive laws in certain categories of algebras.

- Joint work with Daniela Petrişan. This paper provides a unifying
- category-theoretic framework for minimization and learning algorithms for
- bottom-up tree automata with effects. Our aim is two-fold: encompass
- existing algorithms for various forms of tree automata – deterministic
- bottom-up tree automata, residual finite tree automata, tree automata
- weighted over a field – and instantiate the abstract framework in order to
- obtain new results – tree automata weighted over prinicipal ideal domains
- (PIDs).
