Woodelf++: A Fast and Unified Partial Dependence Plot Algorithm for Decision Tree Ensembles

Ron Wettenstein, Alexander Nadel, Udi Boker

Partial Dependence Plots (PDPs) visualize how changes in a single feature affect the average model prediction. They are widely used in practice to interpret decision tree ensembles…

WOODELF-HD: Efficient Background SHAP for High-Depth Decision Trees

Ron Wettenstein, Alexander Nadel, Udi Boker

Decision-tree ensembles are a cornerstone of predictive modeling, and SHAP is a standard framework for interpreting their predictions. Among its variants, Background SHAP offers hi…

The Target Discounted-Sum Problem

Udi Boker, Thomas A. Henzinger, Jan Otop

The target discounted-sum problem is the following: Given a rational discount factor and three rational values , and , does there exist a finite or an infinite sequ…

History-Determinism vs Fair Simulation

Udi Boker, Thomas A. Henzinger, Karoliina Lehtinen +1

An automaton is history-deterministic if its nondeterminism can be resolved on the fly, only using the prefix of the word read so far. This mild form of nondeterminism has attracte…

Synchronized CTL over One-Counter Automata

Shaull Almagor, Daniel Assa, Udi Boker

We consider the model-checking problem of Synchronized Computation-Tree Logic (CTL+Sync) over One-Counter Automata (OCAs). CTL+Sync augments CTL with temporal operators that requir…

Discounted-Sum Automata with Multiple Discount Factors

Udi Boker, Guy Hefetz

Discounting the influence of future events is a key paradigm in economics and it is widely used in computer-science models, such as games, Markov decision processes (MDPs), reinfor…

Safety and Liveness of Quantitative Properties and Automata

Udi Boker, Thomas A. Henzinger, Nicolas Mazzocchi +1

Safety and liveness stand as fundamental concepts in formal languages, playing a key role in verification. The safety-liveness classification of boolean properties characterizes wh…

On the Comparison of Discounted-Sum Automata with Multiple Discount Factors

Udi Boker, Guy Hefetz

We look into the problems of comparing nondeterministic discounted-sum automata on finite and infinite words. That is, the problems of checking for automata and whether or…

On the Translation of Automata to Linear Temporal Logic

Udi Boker, Karoliina Lehtinen, Salomon Sickert

While the complexity of translating future linear temporal logic (LTL) into automata on infinite words is well-understood, the size increase involved in turning automata back to LT…

History Determinism vs. Good for Gameness in Quantitative Automata

Udi Boker, Karoliina Lehtinen

Automata models between determinism and nondeterminism/alternations can retain some of the algorithmic properties of deterministic automata while enjoying some of the expressivenes…

Token Games and History-Deterministic Quantitative-Automata

Udi Boker, Karoliina Lehtinen

A nondeterministic automaton is history-deterministic if its nondeterminism can be resolved by only considering the prefix of the word read so far. Due to their good compositional…

On the Succinctness of Alternating Parity Good-for-Games Automata

Udi Boker, Denis Kuperberg, Karoliina Lehtinen +1

We study alternating parity good-for-games (GFG) automata, i.e., alternating parity automata where both conjunctive and disjunctive choices can be resolved in an online manner, wit…

Parametrized Universality Problems for One-Counter Nets

Shaull Almagor, Udi Boker, Piotr Hofman +1

We study the language universality problem for One-Counter Nets, also known as 1-dimensional Vector Addition Systems with States (1-VASS), parameterized either with an initial coun…

On Succinctness and Recognisability of Alternating Good-for-Games Automata

Udi Boker, Denis Kuperberg, Karoliina Lehtinen +1

We study alternating good-for-games (GFG) automata, i.e., alternating automata where both conjunctive and disjunctive choices can be resolved in an online manner, without knowledge…

Good for Games Automata: From Nondeterminism to Alternation

Udi Boker, Karoliina Lehtinen

A word automaton recognizing a language is good for games (GFG) if its composition with any game with winning condition preserves the game's winner. While all deterministic…

Register Games

Karoliina Lehtinen, Udi Boker

The complexity of parity games is a long standing open problem that saw a major breakthrough in 2017 when two quasi-polynomial algorithms were published. This article presents a th…

How Deterministic are Good-For-Games Automata?

Udi Boker, Orna Kupferman, Michał Skrzypczak

In GFG automata, it is possible to resolve nondeterminism in a way that only depends on the past and still accepts all the words in the language. The motivation for GFG automata co…

Families of DFAs as Acceptors of -Regular Languages

Dana Angluin, Udi Boker, Dana Fisman

Families of DFAs (FDFAs) provide an alternative formalism for recognizing -regular languages. The motivation for introducing them was a desired correlation between the automaton…

Discounting in LTL

Shaull Almagor, Udi Boker, Orna Kupferman

In recent years, there is growing need and interest in formalizing and reasoning about the quality of software and hardware systems. As opposed to traditional verification, where o…

Exact and Approximate Determinization of Discounted-Sum Automata

Udi Boker, Thomas A. Henzinger

A discounted-sum automaton (NDA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton with edge weights, valuing a run by the discounted sum of visited edge weights. More precisely, the weight i…

Comparing Computational Power

Udi Boker, Nachum Dershowitz

It is common practice to compare the computational power of different models of computation. For example, the recursive functions are strictly more powerful than the primitive recu…
