Planar Machines in Theory
zhlédnutí 584Před 2 měsíci
Here we consider "planar" machines in the undergraduate Theory of Computing class, and whether they are possible to be made, that is, a machine whose drawing does not have edge crossings. We prove that for regular languages, context-free languages, and Turing Machine languages, there is a corresponding "planar" machine. For example, every regular language has a planar NFA.

ChatGPT vs. Professor's Computer Science Exam
zhlédnutí 5KPřed rokem
Here we feed questions from a theoretical computer science exam I have given into ChatGPT, and analyze the output answers it gives. (Yes, ChatGPT generated this video description.) For those who may not be familiar, ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art natural language processing system that is capable of generating human-like responses to prompts and questions. In this experiment, we will be testing ...

Original covering arrays video: czcams.com/video/m1j4OBs1wsY/video.html&ab_channel=EasyTheory arXiv preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2211.01209.pdf Here we discuss a recent proof of mine of a conjecture in my research area, which has to do with sizes of covering arrays. I first go over what the problem, which is determining the asymptotic sizes (# of rows) of covering arrays of "higher index", which is ...
