Expressiveness of streaming string transducers
Streaming string transducers [1] define (partial) functions from input strings to output strings. A streaming string transducer makes a single pass through the input string and us...

The probability of "undefined" (non-converging) output in generating the universal probability distribution
In order to generate a universal probability distribution to extrapolate a binary string x of length i, we feed random bits into a universal device, M. When we find an input strin...

Compilation of Weighted Finite-State Transducers from Decision Trees
We report on a method for compiling decision trees into weighted finite-state transducers. The key assumptions are that the tree predictions specify how to rewrite symbols from an...

On Optimally Partitioning a Text to Improve Its Compression
In this paper we investigate the problem of partitioning an input string T in such a way that compressing individually its parts via a basecompressor C gets a compressed output th...
