Two-way finite automaton : The concept of 2DFAs was in 1997 generalized to quantum computing by John Watrous's "On the Power of 2-Way Quantum Finite State Automata", in which he demonstrates that these machines can recognize nonregular languages and so are more powerful than DFAs.
Two-way finite automaton : A pushdown automaton that is allowed to move either way on its input tape is called two-way pushdown automaton (2PDA); it has been studied by Hartmanis, Lewis, and Stearns (1965). Aho, Hopcroft, Ullman (1968) and Cook (1971) characterized the class of languages recognizable by deterministic (...
Unambiguous finite automaton : In automata theory, an unambiguous finite automaton (UFA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) such that each word has at most one accepting path. Each deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is an UFA, but not vice versa. DFA, UFA, and NFA recognize exactly the same class of formal ...
Unambiguous finite automaton : An NFA is represented formally by a 5-tuple, A = ( Q , Σ , Δ , q 0 , F ) ,F) . An UFA is an NFA such that, for each word w = a 1 a 2 . . . a n a_...a_ , there exists at most one sequence of states r 0 , r 1 , . . . , r n ,r_,...,r_ , in Q with the following conditions: r 0 = q 0 =q_ ; r ...
Unambiguous finite automaton : Let L be the set of words over the alphabet whose nth last letter is an a . The figures show a DFA and a UFA accepting this language for n=2. The minimal DFA accepting L has 2n states, one for each subset of . There is an UFA of n + 1 states which accepts L : it guesses the nth last...
Unambiguous finite automaton : Three PSPACE-hard problems for general NFA belong to PTIME for DFA and are now considered.
Unambiguous finite automaton : For a nondeterministic finite automaton A with n states and an m letter alphabet, it is decidable in time O ( n 2 m ) m) whether A is unambiguous.
Unambiguous finite automaton : Given a UFA A and an integer n, one can count in polynomial time the number of words of size n that are accepted by A. This can be done by a simple dynamic programming algorithm: for every state q of A and i ∈ , compute the number of words of size n-i having a run starting at q and endi...
Unambiguous finite automaton : Mathematical proofs that every UFA for a language needs a certain number of states were pioneered by Schmidt. Leung proved that a DFA equivalent to an n -state UFA requires 2 n states in the worst case, and that a UFA equivalent to a finitely ambiguous n -state NFA requires 2 n − 1 -1 ...

Weighted automaton : In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a weighted automaton or weighted finite-state machine is a generalization of a finite-state machine in which the edges have weights, for example real numbers or integers. Finite-state machines are only capable of answering decision problem...
Weighted automaton : A commutative semiring (or rig) is a set R equipped with two distinguished elements 0 ≠ 1 and addition and multiplication operations ⊕ and ⊗ such that ⊕ is commutative and associative with identity 0 , ⊗ is commutative and associative with identity 1 , ⊗ distributes over ⊕ , and 0 is an ab...
Weighted automaton : Since Δ is a set of transitions, weighted automata allow multiple transitions (or paths) on a single input string. Therefore a weighted automaton can be considered analogous to a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). As is the case with NFAs, restrictions of weighted automata are considered tha...
Weighted automaton : The requirement that there is a zero element for ⊕ is sometimes omitted; in this case the machine defines a partial function from Σ ∗ to R rather than a total function. It is possible to extend the definition to allow epsilon transitions ( q , ϵ , w , q ′ ) , where ϵ is the empty string. In th...
Corpus linguistics : Corpus linguistics is an empirical method for the study of language by way of a text corpus (plural corpora). Corpora are balanced, often stratified collections of authentic, "real world", text of speech or writing that aim to represent a given linguistic variety. Today, corpora are generally machi...
Corpus linguistics : Some of the earliest efforts at grammatical description were based at least in part on corpora of particular religious or cultural significance. For example, Prātiśākhya literature described the sound patterns of Sanskrit as found in the Vedas, and Pāṇini's grammar of classical Sanskrit was based a...
Corpus linguistics : Corpus linguistics has generated a number of research methods, which attempt to trace a path from data to theory. Wallis and Nelson (2001) first introduced what they called the 3A perspective: Annotation, Abstraction and Analysis. Annotation consists of the application of a scheme to texts. Annotat...

Ancient text corpora : Two types of ancient texts are known to modern scholars – those that have only survived in younger manuscripts, but whose great age is undisputed (this applies to the bulk of the Chinese, Brahmi, Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Avestan tradition), and those known from original inscriptions, papyri and o...

Co-occurrence : In linguistics, co-occurrence or cooccurrence is an above-chance frequency of ordered occurrence of two adjacent terms in a text corpus.

Collocation : In corpus linguistics, a collocation is a series of words or terms that co-occur more often than would be expected by chance. In phraseology, a collocation is a type of compositional phraseme, meaning that it can be understood from the words that make it up. This contrasts with an idiom, where the meaning...
Collocation : Collocations are partly or fully fixed expressions that become established through repeated context-dependent use. Such terms as crystal clear, middle management, nuclear family, and cosmetic surgery are examples of collocated pairs of words. Collocations can be in a syntactic relation (such as verb–objec...
Collocation : In 1933, Harold Palmer's Second Interim Report on English Collocations highlighted the importance of collocation as a key to producing natural-sounding language, for anyone learning a foreign language. Thus from the 1940s onwards, information about recurrent word combinations became a standard feature of ...

Hapax legomenon : In corpus linguistics, a hapax legomenon ( also or ; pl. hapax legomena; sometimes abbreviated to hapax, plural hapaxes) is a word or an expression that occurs only once within a context: either in the written record of an entire language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. The term is so...
Hapax legomenon : Hapax legomena in ancient texts are usually difficult to decipher, since it is easier to infer meaning from multiple contexts than from just one. For example, many of the remaining undeciphered Mayan glyphs are hapax legomena, and Biblical (particularly Hebrew; see § Hebrew) hapax legomena sometimes p...
Hapax legomenon : In the fields of computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), esp. corpus linguistics and machine-learned NLP, it is common to disregard hapax legomena (and sometimes other infrequent words), as they are likely to have little value for computational techniques.
