Automata Learning from Preference and Equivalence Queries

2023-08-18 · Eric Hsiung, Joydeep Biswas, Swarat Chaudhuri

Active automata learning from membership and equivalence queries is a foundational problem with numerous applications. We propose a novel variant of the active automata learning problem: actively learn finite automata using preference queries -- i.e., queries about the relative position of two sequences in a total order -- instead of membership queries. Our solution is REMAP, a novel algorithm which leverages a symbolic observation table along with unification and constraint solving to navigate a space of symbolic hypotheses (each representing a set of automata), and uses satisfiability-solving to construct a concrete automaton from a symbolic hypothesis. REMAP is guaranteed to correctly infer the minimal automaton with polynomial query complexity under exact equivalence queries, and achieves PAC-identification ($\varepsilon$-approximate, with high probability) of the minimal automaton using sampling-based equivalence queries. Our empirical evaluations of REMAP on the task of learning reward machines for two reinforcement learning domains indicate REMAP scales to large automata and is effective at learning correct automata from consistent teachers, under both exact and sampling-based equivalence queries.

Complexity of Equivalence and Learning for Multiplicity Tree Automata

2014-05-02 · Ines Marusic, James Worrell

We consider the complexity of equivalence and learning for multiplicity tree automata, i.e., weighted tree automata over a field. We first show that the equivalence problem is logspace equivalent to polynomial identity t…

Can LLM Agents Infer World Models? Evidence from Agentic Automata Learning

2026-06-15 · Reef Menaged, Gili Lior, Shauli Ravfogel, Roee Aharoni 외 arxiv

We propose agentic automata learning to evaluate the extent to which tool-calling LLM agents can uncover hidden environments through interaction. In our setup, an agent should uncover a hidden deterministic finite automa…

Learning Moore Machines from Input-Output Traces
