We consider the use of state elimination to construct shorter regular expressions from finite-state automata. Although state elimination is an intuitive method for computing regul...
We extend finite state registered automata (FSRA) to account for medium-distance dependencies in natural languages. We provide an extended regular expression language whose expres...
Finite-state techniques are widely used in various areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP). As Kaplan and Kay [12] have argular expressions are the appropriate level of abstract...
We continue our work [H. Gruber, M. Holzer: Provably shorter regular expressions from deterministic finite automata (extended ). In Proc. DLT, LNCS 5257, 2008] on the problem of ...
