Modern Language Models and Computation: Theory with Applications
Soukup Ondřej, Ing., Ph.D.
Alternative versions of rewriting systems Important trend in informatics, linguistics and mathematics Central topic in language theory Self-contained explanation Easy-to-follow theoretical concepts Complete coverage of theoretical fundamentals Many algorithms and their implementation Demonstration how theory and practice work together Worked-out examples and case studies Structural transformations Restrictions, reductions and economy Applications in many scientific fields, such as biology and linguistics Relation to other scientific fields, such as algebra Perspectives and expected future development Exhaustive references and bibliographical notes
This textbook gives a systematized and compact summary, providing the most essential types of modern models for languages and computation together with their properties and applications. Most of these models properly reflect and formalize current computational methods, based on parallelism, distribution and cooperation covered in this book. As a result, it allows the user to develop, study, and improve these methods very effectively. This textbook also represents the first systematic treatment of modern language models for computation. It covers all essential theoretical topics concerning them. From a practical viewpoint, it describes various concepts, methods, algorithms, techniques, and software units based upon these models. Based upon them, it describes several applications in biology, linguistics, and computer science.< Advanced-level students studying computer science, mathematics, linguistics and biology will find this textbook a valuable resource. Theoreticians, practitioners and researchers working in todays theory of computation and its applications will also find this book essential as a reference.
