Seminar Link by Helmut Seidl: "Equivalence of Deterministic Top-Down Tree-to-String Transducers is Decidable"
Abstract:

We show that equivalence of deterministic top-down tree-to-string transducers is decidable,
thus solving a long standing open problem in formal language theory.
We also present efficient algorithms for subclasses:
polynomial time for total transducers with unary output alphabet (over a given top-down regular domain language),
and co-randomized polynomial time for linear transducers, these results are obtained using techniques from multi-linear algebra.
For our main result, we prove that equivalence can be certified by means of inductive invariants using polynomial ideals.
This allows us to construct two semi-algorithms, one searching for a proof of equivalence, one for a witness of non-equivalence.

Seminar Links by Vincent Hugot: "Top-Down Transducers for Data Trees"
Abstract:
Tree transducers have a wide range of application domains ranging from compiler construction,
program analysis, and computational linguistics, to semi-structured databases and file system
transformations. A common application of these domains is to specify and verify transformations
of data trees, i.e., trees whose nodes are labeled by data values from an infinite domain. Most
existing classes of tree transducers and their formal studies, however, are restricted to trees over
finite signatures without data. In this paper, we lift the most prominent class of top-down tree
transducers to data trees, such that its good properties are preserved. In particular, we show that
top-down transducers for data trees have a decidable equivalence problem, without imposing any
linearity restriction as in previous approaches based on symbolic top-down tree transducers.

Fatima Belkouch: on the hypercube algorithm for conjunctive queries
Abstract: We consider the problem of computing a conjunctive query on a large database in a parallel setting with p servers. Unlike traditional query processing, the complexity is no longer dominated by the number of disk accesses. Typically, a query is evaluated by a sufficiently large number of servers such that the entire data can be kept in the main memory of these servers. The dominant cost becomes that of communicating data and synchronizing among the servers.
I will present some interesting results in [1, 2, 3, 4] dealing with the communication complexity of massively parallel computation of a query. The computation is performed in "rounds".
First, I will present the Massively Parallel Communication (MPC) model to analyze the tradeoff between the number of rounds and the amount of communication required in a massively parallel computing environment.
Then I will present the HyperCube (HC) algorithm that computes a full conjunctive query q in one round.
I will discuss the communication complexity [2]. The main result is the optimal load O(m/p1/τ ) where τ is the fractional vertex cover of the hypergraph of q and m the input data size.
