Adaptive Non-Linear Pattern Matching Automata
Efficient pattern matching is fundamental for practical term rewrite engines. By preprocessing the given patterns into a finite deterministic automaton the matching patterns can be decided in a single traversal of the relevant parts of the input term. Most automaton-based techniques are restricted to linear patterns, where each variable occurs at most once, and require an additional post-processing step to check so-called variable consistency. However, we can show that interleaving the variable consistency and pattern matching phases can reduce the number of required steps to find a match all matches. Therefore, we take the existing adaptive pattern matching automata as introduced by Sekar et al and extend it these with consistency checks. We prove that the resulting deterministic pattern matching automaton is correct, and show that its evaluation depth is can be shorter than two-phase approaches
Adaptive Non-linear Pattern Matching Automata
Efficient pattern matching is fundamental for practical term rewrite engines.
By preprocessing the given patterns into a finite deterministic automaton the
matching patterns can be decided in a single traversal of the relevant parts of
the input term. Most automaton-based techniques are restricted to linear
patterns, where each variable occurs at most once, and require an additional
post-processing step to check so-called variable consistency. However, we can
show that interleaving the variable consistency and pattern matching phases can
reduce the number of required steps to find all matches. Therefore, we take the
existing adaptive pattern matching automata as introduced by Sekar et al and
extend these with consistency checks. We prove that the resulting deterministic
pattern matching automaton is correct, and show several examples where some
reduction can be achieved
Neighborhood detection and rule selection from cellular automata patterns
Using genetic algorithms (GAs) to search for cellular automation (CA) rules from spatio-temporal patterns produced in CA evolution is usually complicated and time-consuming when both, the neighborhood structure and the local rule are searched simultaneously. The complexity of this problem motivates the development of a new search which separates the neighborhood detection from the GA search. In the paper, the neighborhood is determined by independently selecting terms from a large term set on the basis of the contribution each term makes to the next state of the cell to be updated. The GA search is then started with a considerably smaller set of candidate rules pre-defined by the detected neighhorhood. This approach is tested over a large set of one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) CA rules. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the new algorith
Efficient Online Timed Pattern Matching by Automata-Based Skipping
The timed pattern matching problem is an actively studied topic because of
its relevance in monitoring of real-time systems. There one is given a log
and a specification (given by a timed word and a timed automaton
in this paper), and one wishes to return the set of intervals for which the log
, when restricted to the interval, satisfies the specification
. In our previous work we presented an efficient timed pattern
matching algorithm: it adopts a skipping mechanism inspired by the classic
Boyer--Moore (BM) string matching algorithm. In this work we tackle the problem
of online timed pattern matching, towards embedded applications where it is
vital to process a vast amount of incoming data in a timely manner.
Specifically, we start with the Franek-Jennings-Smyth (FJS) string matching
algorithm---a recent variant of the BM algorithm---and extend it to timed
pattern matching. Our experiments indicate the efficiency of our FJS-type
algorithm in online and offline timed pattern matching
Improved Approximate String Matching and Regular Expression Matching on Ziv-Lempel Compressed Texts
We study the approximate string matching and regular expression matching
problem for the case when the text to be searched is compressed with the
Ziv-Lempel adaptive dictionary compression schemes. We present a time-space
trade-off that leads to algorithms improving the previously known complexities
for both problems. In particular, we significantly improve the space bounds,
which in practical applications are likely to be a bottleneck
Generalised additive multiscale wavelet models constructed using particle swarm optimisation and mutual information for spatio-temporal evolutionary system representation
A new class of generalised additive multiscale wavelet models (GAMWMs) is introduced for high dimensional spatio-temporal evolutionary (STE) system identification. A novel two-stage hybrid learning scheme is developed for constructing such an additive wavelet model. In the first stage, a new orthogonal projection pursuit (OPP) method, implemented using a particle swarm optimisation(PSO) algorithm, is proposed for successively augmenting an initial coarse wavelet model, where relevant parameters of the associated wavelets are optimised using a particle swarm optimiser. The resultant network model, obtained in the first stage, may however be a redundant model. In the second stage, a forward orthogonal regression (FOR) algorithm, implemented using a mutual information method, is then applied to refine and improve the initially constructed wavelet model. The proposed two-stage hybrid method can generally produce a parsimonious wavelet model, where a ranked list of wavelet functions, according to the capability of each wavelet to represent the total variance in the desired system output signal is produced. The proposed new modelling framework is applied to real observed images, relative to a chemical reaction exhibiting a spatio-temporal evolutionary behaviour, and the associated identification results show that the new modelling framework is applicable and effective for handling high dimensional identification problems of spatio-temporal evolution sytems
A Review on Block Matching Motion Estimation and Automata Theory based Approaches for Fractal Coding
Fractal compression is the lossy compression technique in the field of gray/color image and video compression. It gives high compression ratio, better image quality with fast decoding time but improvement in encoding time is a challenge. This review paper/article presents the analysis of most significant existing approaches in the field of fractal based gray/color images and video compression, different block matching motion estimation approaches for finding out the motion vectors in a frame based on inter-frame coding and intra-frame coding i.e. individual frame coding and automata theory based coding approaches to represent an image/sequence of images. Though different review papers exist related to fractal coding, this paper is different in many sense. One can develop the new shape pattern for motion estimation and modify the existing block matching motion estimation with automata coding to explore the fractal compression technique with specific focus on reducing the encoding time and achieving better image/video reconstruction quality. This paper is useful for the beginners in the domain of video compression
