Learning Visibly One-Counter Automata in Polynomial Time
Daniel Neider, Christof Löding
AIB 2010-02
Visibly one-counter automata are a restricted kind of one-counter
automata:
The input symbols are typed such that the type determines the
instruction that is executed on the counter when the input symbol is
read. We present an Angluin-like algorithm for actively learning
visibly one-counter automata that runs in polynomial time in
characteristic parameters of the target language and in the size of
the information provided by the teacher.
