Learning Temporal Properties from Event Logs via Sequential Analysis

Authors: Francesco Chiariello

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 318, 31st International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2024)


Abstract
In this work, we present a novel approach to learning Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formulae from event logs by leveraging statistical techniques from sequential analysis. In particular, we employ the Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT), using Trace Alignment to quantify the discrepancy between a trace and a candidate LTL formula. We then test the proposed approach in a controlled experimental setting and highlight its advantages, which include robustness to noise and data efficiency.

Indexing Graphs for Shortest Beer Path Queries

Authors: David Coudert, Andrea D'Ascenzo, and Mattia D'Emidio

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 123, 24th Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2024)


Abstract
A beer graph is an edge-weighted graph G = (V,E,ω) with beer vertices B ⊆ V. A beer path between two vertices s and t of a beer graph is a path that connects s and t and visits at least one vertex in B. The beer distance between two vertices is the weight of a shortest beer path, i.e. a beer path having minimum total weight. A graph indexing scheme is a two-phase method that constructs an index data structure by a one-time preprocessing of an input graph and then exploits it to compute (or accelerate the computation of) answers to queries on structures of the graph dataset. In the last decade, such indexing schemes have been designed to perform, effectively, many relevant types of queries, e.g. on reachability, and have gained significant popularity in essentially all data-intensive application domains where large number of queries have to be routinely answered (e.g. journey planners), since they have been shown, through many experimental studies, to offer extremely low query times at the price of limited preprocessing time and space overheads. In this paper, we showcase that an indexing scheme, to efficiently execute queries on beer distances or shortest beer paths for pairs of vertices of a beer graph, can be obtained by adapting the highway labeling, a recently introduced indexing method to accelerate the computation of classical shortest paths. We design a preprocessing algorithm to build a whl index, i.e. a weighted highway labeling of a beer graph, and show how it can be queried to compute beer distances and shortest beer paths. Through extensive experimentation on real networks, we empirically demonstrate its practical effectiveness and superiority, in terms of offered trade-off between preprocessing time, space overhead and query time, with respect to the state-of-the-art.

A Faster Algorithm for Pigeonhole Equal Sums

Authors: Ce Jin and Hongxun Wu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
An important area of research in exact algorithms is to solve Subset-Sum-type problems faster than meet-in-middle. In this paper we study Pigeonhole Equal Sums, a total search problem proposed by Papadimitriou (1994): given n positive integers w₁,… ,w_n of total sum ∑_{i = 1}ⁿ w_i < 2ⁿ-1, the task is to find two distinct subsets A, B ⊆ [n] such that ∑_{i ∈ A}w_i = ∑_{i ∈ B}w_i. Similar to the status of the Subset Sum problem, the best known algorithm for Pigeonhole Equal Sums runs in O^*(2^{n/2}) time, via either meet-in-middle or dynamic programming (Allcock, Hamoudi, Joux, Klingelhöfer, and Santha, 2022). Our main result is an improved algorithm for Pigeonhole Equal Sums in O^*(2^{0.4n}) time. We also give a polynomial-space algorithm in O^*(2^{0.75n}) time. Unlike many previous works in this area, our approach does not use the representation method, but rather exploits a simple structural characterization of input instances with few solutions.

Population Based Methods for Optimising Infinite Behaviours of Timed Automata

Authors: Lewis Tolonen, Tim French, and Mark Reynolds

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 120, 25th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2018)


Abstract
Timed automata are powerful models for the analysis of real time systems. The optimal infinite scheduling problem for double-priced timed automata is concerned with finding infinite runs of a system whose long term cost to reward ratio is minimal. Due to the state-space explosion occurring when discretising a timed automaton, exact computation of the optimal infinite ratio is infeasible. This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of ant colony optimisation for approximating the optimal schedule for a given double-priced timed automaton. The application of ant colony optimisation to the corner-point abstraction of the automaton proved generally less effective than a random method. The best found optimisation method was obtained by formulating the choice of time delays in a cycle of the automaton as a linear program and utilizing ant colony optimisation in order to determine a sequence of profitable discrete transitions comprising an infinite behaviour.

Awareness and forgetting of facts and agents

Authors: Hans Van Ditmarsch and Tim French

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9351, Information processing, rational belief change and social interaction (2009)


Abstract
We propose various logical semantics for change of awareness. The setting is that of multiple agents that may become aware of facts or other agents, or forget about them. We model these dynamics by quantifying over propositional variables and agent variables, in a multi-agent epistemic language with awareness operators, employing a notion of bisimulation with a clause for `same awareness'. The quantification is over all different ways in which an agent can become aware (or forget). Logics for change of awareness combine well with logics for informational change, as when a public announcement simultaneously makes you aware of an issue (`a plane just crashed on Schiphol Airport').
