Project mention: Calculate the difference and intersection of any two regexes | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-11Say you want to compute all strings of length 5 that the automaton can generate. Conceptually the nicest way is to create an automaton that matches any five characters and then compute the intersection between that automaton and the regex automaton. Then you can generate all the strings in the intersection automaton. Of course, IRL, you wouldn't actually generate the intersection (you can easily do this on the fly), but you get the idea.
Automata are really a lost art in modern natural language processing. We used to do things like store a large vocabulary in an deterministic acyclic minimized automaton (nice and compact, so-called dictionary automaton). And then to find, say all words within Levenshtein distance 2 of hacker, create a Levenshtein automaton for hacker and then compute (on the fly) the intersection between the Levenshtein automaton and the dictionary automaton. The language of the automaton is then all words within the intersection automaton.
I wrote a Java package a decade ago that implements some of this stuff:
