Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation

TLDR
This book is a rigorous exposition of formal languages and models of computation, with an introduction to computational complexity, appropriate for upper-level computer science undergraduates who are comfortable with mathematical arguments.
Abstract
This book is a rigorous exposition of formal languages and models of computation, with an introduction to computational complexity. The authors present the theory in a concise and straightforward manner, with an eye out for the practical applications. Exercises at the end of each chapter, including some that have been solved, help readers confirm and enhance their understanding of the material. This book is appropriate for upper-level computer science undergraduates who are comfortable with mathematical arguments.

Efficient pattern matching over event streams

TL;DR: This paper presents a formal evaluation model that offers precise semantics for this new class of queries and a query evaluation framework permitting optimizations in a principled way and further analyzes the runtime complexity of query evaluation using this model and develops a suite of techniques that improve runtime efficiency by exploiting sharing in storage and processing.

Learning and extracting finite state automata with second-order recurrent neural networks

TL;DR: It is shown that a recurrent, second-order neural network using a real-time, forward training algorithm readily learns to infer small regular grammars from positive and negative string training samples, and many of the neural net state machines are dynamically stable, that is, they correctly classify many long unseen strings.

Grammar-based codes: a new class of universal lossless source codes

TL;DR: It is shown that, subject to some mild restrictions, a grammar-based code is a universal code with respect to the family of finite-state information sources over the finite alphabet.
