Machine-learnable Sets

arXiv:2606. 28947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this study we present a formal definition of large discrete sets having, informally, three properties: their elements are easily recognized, easily generated, and the latter tasks are easily learned from examples.

Learning Canonical Register Automata over Ordered Data Domains

The paper presents a polynomial‑time active learning procedure for deterministic register automata (DRAs) over ordered data domains, covering both dense domains like the rationals and non‑dense domains such as the integers. It unifies the learning framework for these domains using membership, equivalence, and memorability queries, and shows that minimization of DRAs over the integer domain is decidable. Additionally, the authors provide improved complexity bounds for several decision problems related to DRAs over ordered domains.

Polynomial-Time Mistake-Bounded Language Generation

arXiv:2606. 16077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this note, we introduce a polynomial-time version of the mistake-bounded language generation (MBLG) framework due to Kleinberg, Peale, and Reingold (2026).

Language Identification with Succinct Machine-Independent Traces

arXiv:2607. 12443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the power of large language models, there has been renewed interest in the Gold-Angluin model of language identification in the limit, with an eye toward variants of the model that might overcome the negative results for its original formulation.

Invariant Discovery for Networked Systems

arXiv:2607. 22944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Invariants, the relations expected to hold among measured signals of a network, underpin applications from verification to traffic generation, telemetry imputation, and input validation, yet writing them by hand demands rare expertise in both formal logic and networking.

Interpretability for Turing Machines

The paper demonstrates that the interpretability method known as susceptibilities, originally used for neural networks, can detect algorithmic structure in Turing machines by examining the local loss landscape of a learning problem for noisy Turing machines. It proves that symmetries and path separation in a Turing machine’s algorithm produce permutation symmetries and low‑rank blocks in the susceptibility matrix. Empirical studies on deterministic finite automata show that algorithmic features can be recovered through principal component analysis and clustering in susceptibility space.
