Recently, Chase and Freitag introduced a novel\u0000approach to proving query learning bounds by computing combinatorial complexity\u0000measures for the classes in question, which they applied to the setting of DFAs\u0000to obtain qualitatively different results compared to the $L^*$ algorithm.\u0000Using this approach, we prove new query learning bounds for two generalizations\u0000of DFAs. The first setting is that of advice DFAs, which are DFAs augmented\u0000with an advice string that informs the DFA's transition behavior at each step.\u0000For advice DFAs, we give the first known upper bounds for query complexity. The\u0000second setting is that of nominal DFAs, which generalize DFAs to infinite\u0000alphabets which admit some structure via symmetries. For nominal DFAs, we make\u0000qualitative improvements over prior results.","PeriodicalId":501124,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Formal Languages and Automata Theory","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This\u0000view is inductive in nature: two primitives are equivalent if they are\u0000constructed in the same way. Alternatively, regular expressions can be\u0000understood in terms of their operational semantics, that is, through\u0000deterministic finite automata. This view is coinductive in nature: two\u0000primitives are equivalent if they are deconstructed in the same way. It is\u0000implied by Kleene's famous theorem that both views are equivalent: regular\u0000languages are precisely the formal languages accepted by deterministic finite\u0000automata. In this paper, we use Dafny, a verification-aware programming\u0000language, to formally verify, for the first time, what has been previously\u0000established only through proofs-by-hand: the two semantics of regular\u0000expressions are well-behaved, in the sense that they are in fact one and the\u0000same, up to pointwise bisimilarity. At each step of our formalisation, we\u0000propose an interpretation in the language of Coalgebra. We found that Dafny is\u0000particularly well suited for the task due to its inductive and coinductive\u0000features and hope our approach serves as a blueprint for future generalisations\u0000to other theories.","PeriodicalId":501124,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Formal Languages and Automata Theory","volume":"195 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Does this assertion also apply to the abilities of contemporary large\u0000language models (LLMs)? From a broader perspective, this question calls for an\u0000investigation of the computational power of LLMs by the classical means of\u0000computability and computational complexity theory, especially the theory of\u0000automata. Along these lines, we establish a number of fundamental results.\u0000Firstly, we argue that any fixed (non-adaptive) LLM is computationally\u0000equivalent to a, possibly very large, deterministic finite-state transducer.\u0000This characterizes the base level of LLMs. We extend this to a key result\u0000concerning the simulation of space-bounded Turing machines by LLMs. Secondly,\u0000we show that lineages of evolving LLMs are computationally equivalent to\u0000interactive Turing machines with advice. The latter finding confirms the\u0000validity of the ECTT for lineages of LLMs. From a computability viewpoint, it\u0000also suggests that lineages of LLMs possess super-Turing computational power.\u0000Consequently, in our computational model knowledge generation is in general a\u0000non-algorithmic process realized by lineages of LLMs. Finally, we discuss the\u0000merits of our findings in the broader context of several related disciplines\u0000and philosophies.","PeriodicalId":501124,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Formal Languages and Automata Theory","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142197181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
