Abstract. We present two novel approaches to parsing context-free languages. The first approach is based on an extension of Brzozowski’s derivative from regular expressions to c...
Regular expressions (REs), because of their succinctness and clear syntax, are the common choice to represent regular languages. However, efficient pattern matching or word recogni...
In many applications string pattern matching is one of the most intensive tasks in terms of computation time and memory accesses. Network Intrusion Detection Systems and DNA Seque...

This paper presents a new polynomial-time algorithm for the inclusion problem for certain pairs of regular expressions. The algorithm is not based on construction of finite automat...
Many machine learning methods have recently been applied to natural language processing tasks. Among them, the Winnow algorithm has been argued to be particularly suitable for NLP...
