Weighted Tree Automata and Tree Transducers

TL;DR: The equivalence between recognizable tree series and equational, rational, and MSO-definable tree series is discussed, and a comparison of several other models of recognizability is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compositions of extended top-down tree transducers

TL;DR: It is shown that the class of transformations computed by certain linear bimorphisms coincides with the previously mentioned class, and it is demonstrated that every linear epsilon-free extended top-down tree transducers with regular look-ahead can be implemented by a linear multi bottom-up tree transducer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weighted Logics for Unranked Tree Automata

TL;DR: It is shown that weighted tree automata and a syntactically restricted weighted MSO-logic have the same expressive power in case the semiring is commutative or in case the authors deal only with ranked trees, but, surprisingly, not in general.

A pumping lemma and decidability problems for recognizable tree series

TL;DR: The pumping lemma is applied and it is shown that for every non-deterministic bu-w-fta over a locally finite semiring there exists an equivalent deterministic one.

Efficient Inference through Cascades of Weighted Tree Transducers

TL;DR: A detailed description of algorithms for application of cascades of weighted tree transducers to weighted tree acceptors is given, connecting formal theory with actual practice.

Tree automata

Ferenc Gecseg
TL;DR: A context-free grammar over the terminal alphabet generating the Dyck language of well-bracketed strings and a product construction for nondeterministic bu-ta A 1 and A 2, to discuss whether there are simpler means of specifying them formally.

Recognizable formal power series on trees

TL;DR: A theory of formal power series on trees is proposed, some of their basic properties are presented, and various examples of applications are presented which, it is hoped, will show the interest of its development within the framework sketched.
