Tue 8th Nov 2:30 pm 4:30 pm | 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. "Lille-Salle B31 " |

Thu 20th Oct 2:00 pm 4:00 pm | 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.

Fri 24th Jun 2:00 pm 4:00 pm | 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. References [1] Parallel Evaluation of Conjunctive Queries.

Fri 17th Jun 9:00 am 12:30 pm | PhD Thesis Defense by Tom Sebastian: Evaluation of XPath Queries on XML streams with Networks of Early Nested Word Automata Abstract: The challenge that we tackle in this thesis is the problem of how to answer XPath queries on XML streams with low latency, full coverage, high time efficiency, and low memory costs. We first propose to approximate earli- est query answering for navigational XPath queries by compilation to early nested word automata. It turns out that this leads to almost optimal la- tency and memory consumption. Second, we contribute a formal semantics of XPath 3.0. It is obtained by mapping XPath to the new query language λXP that we introduce. We then show how to compile λXP queries to net- works of early nested word automata, and develop streaming algorithms for the latter. Thereby we obtain a streaming algorithm that indeed covers all of XPath 3.0. Third, we develop an algorithm for projecting XML streams with respect to the query defined by an early nested word automaton. Thereby we are able to make our streaming algorithms highly time efficient. We have implemented all our algorithms with the objective to obtain an industrially applicable streaming tool. It turns out that our algorithms outperform all previous approaches in time efficiency, coverage, and latency. |

Fri 18th Mar 10:30 am 12:00 pm | Charles Paperman: "Streaming and circuit complexity" Abstract: In this talk, I will present a connection between the streaming complexity and the circuit complexity of regular languages through a notion of streaming by block . This result provides tight constructions of boolean circuits computing an automaton, thanks to some classical and recent results on the circuit complexity of regular languages. I will apply this framework to the schema validation in streaming of XML-documents. Inria Lille |

Fri 11th Mar 10:30 am 12:00 pm | Seminar Links by Sylvain Salvati: Behavioral verification of higher-order programs Abstract: Higher-order constructions make their way into main stream programming languages like Java, C++, python, rust... These constructions bring new challenges to the verification of programs as they make their control flow more complex. In this talk, I will present how methods coming from denotational semantics can prove decidable the verification of certain properties of higher-order programs. These properties are expressed by means of finite state automata of the possibly infinite execution trees generated by the programs and can capture safety properties but also liveness and fairness properties. |

Thu 21st Jan 11:00 am 1:00 pm | Seminar by Vincent Penelle: "Rewriting high-order stack trees" Higher-order pushdown systems and ground tree rewriting systems can be seen as extensions of suffix word rewriting systems. Both classes generate infinite graphs with interesting logical properties. Indeed, the satisfaction of any formula written in monadic second order logic (respectively first order logic with reachability predicates) can be decided on such a graph. The purpose of this talk is to propose a common extension to both higher-order stack operations and ground tree rewriting. We introduce a model of higher-order ground tree rewriting over trees labelled by higher-order stacks (henceforth called stack trees), which syntactically coincides with ordinary ground tree rewriting at order 1 and with the dynamics of higher-order pushdown automata over unary trees. The infinite graphs generated by this class have a decidable first order logic with reachability. Formally, an order n stack tree is a tree labelled by order n-1 stacks. Operations of ground stack tree rewriting are represented by a certain class of connected DAGs labelled by a set of basic operations over stack trees describing of the relative application positions of the basic operations appearing on it. Applying a DAG to a stack tree t intuitively amounts to paste its input vertices to some leaves of t and to simplify the obtained structure, applying the basic operations labelling the edges of the DAG to the leaves they are appended to, until either a new stack tree is obtained or the process fails, in which case the application of the DAG to t at the chosen position is deemed impossible. This model is a common extension to those of higher-order stack operations presented by Carayol and of ground tree transducers presented by Dauchet and Tison. As further results we can define a notion of recognisable sets of operations through a generalisation. The proof that the graphs generated by a ground stack tree rewriting system have a decidable first order theory with reachability is inspired by the technique of finite set interpretations presented by Colcombet and Loding.

Fri 20th Nov 10:30 am 12:30 pm | Seminar Links by Stéphane Demri: "Separation Logic and Friends" Abstract: Separation logic is used as an assertion language for Hoare-style proof systems about programs with pointers, and there is an ongoing quest for understanding its complexity and expressive power. There are also a lot of activities to develop verification methods with decision procedures for fragments of practical use. Actually, there exist many variants for separation logic that can be viewed as fragments of second-order logic, as well as variants of modal or temporal logics in which models can be updated dynamically. In this talk, after introducing first principles on separation logic, issues related to decidability, computational complexity and expressive power are discussed. We provide several tight relationships with second-order logics, interval temporal logics or data logics, depending on the variants of the logic and on the syntactic resources available.

Thu 1st Oct 10:30 am 12:30 pm | Seminar Links by Eric Prud'hommeaux: Shape Expressions: (finally) a schema language for RDF graph structure Initial architects envinsioned RDF as a knowledge representation language, freeing users from syntactic limitations and revolutionizing the way information was exchanged. While inference and description logic are applied to RDF, the foundation of simple assertions composed of global, unambiguous identifiers, has many more mondane and practical applications. Distributed contributions to large (web-scale) data graphs demands adaptation of tree and stream-based validation techniques to operate over a graph. Shape Expressions performs an ordered traversal of RDF graphs to 1 validate of structural constraints. 2 perform generative semantic actions. "Lille-Salle B21" |
