  1. Victor Mitrana, Cristina Tīrnăucă. New bounds for the query complexity of an algorithm that learns DFAs with correction and equivalence queries.
    Abstract In this note, we show that the number of equivalence queries asked by an algorithm proposed in [6] that learns deterministic finite automata with correction and equivalence queries is at most the injectivity degree of the target language. Further, we propose a tight upper bound for the number of correction queries as a function which depends on the index of the target language, the length of the longest counterexample returned by the teacher and the injectivity degree of the target language.
