We introduce a novel approach for synthesis of software models based on identifying deterministic finite state automata. Our approach consists of three important contributions. First, we argue that in order to model software, one should focus mainly on observed executions (positive data), and use the randomly generated failures (negative data) only for testing consistency. We present a new greedy heuristic for this purpose, and show how to integrate it in the state-of-the-art evidence-driven…

BeBoSy: Behavior Examples Meet Bounded Synthesis
TLDR
The proposed approach is to augment the encodings used in BoSy with additional constraints that ensure the compliance of the generated state machine with the given behavior examples, and exemplify the approach by presenting BeBoSy (Behavior Examples meet BoSy), an extension of the bounded synthesis tool BoSy based on reductions to Boolean satisfiability and Quantified Boolean formula satisfiability problems.

TLDR
How an existing grammar inference technique (QSM) can be used to reverse-engineer state-based models of software from execution traces at a developer-defined level of abstraction and how the QSM technique can be improved for a better balance between the number of tests it proposes and the accuracy of the machine it derives are described.
Towards Feasible PAC-Learning of Probabilistic Deterministic Finite Automata
TLDR
It is proved that indeed this algorithm PAC-learns in a stronger sense than the Clark-Thollard algorithm, and is an attempt to keep the rigorous guarantees of the original one but use sample sizes that are not as astronomical as predicted by the theory.
Blocked Clause Elimination
TLDR
This work shows that BCE is surprisingly effective both in theory and in practice on CNFs resulting from a standard CNF encoding for circuits: without explicit knowledge of the underlying circuit structure, it achieves the same level of simplification as a combination of circuit-level simplifications and previously suggested polarity-based CNF encodings.
