Automata theory is the study of abstract computing devices and models of computation. A fundamental question is determining what different machine models can and cannot do. Alan Turing pioneered the field in the 1930s by studying Turing machines. The Chomsky hierarchy classifies formal languages based on the computational power of the machines that can generate them, from regular languages to recursively enumerable languages. Finite automata are abstract machines that can recognize regular languages. [/SUMMARY]

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
2. 2
What is Automata Theory?
Study of abstract computing devices, or
“machines”
Automaton = an abstract computing device
Note: A “device” need not even be a physical
hardware!
A fundamental question in computer science:
Find out what different models of machines can do
and cannot do
The theory of computation
Computability vs. Complexity
3. 3
Alan Turing (1912-1954)
Father of Modern Computer
Science
English mathematician
Studied abstract machines called
Turing machines even before
computers existed
Heard of the Turing test?
(A pioneer of automata theory)
4. 4
Theory of Computation: A
Historical Perspective
1930s • Alan Turing studies Turing machines
• Decidability
• Halting problem
1940-1950s • “Finite automata” machines studied
• Noam Chomsky proposes the
“Chomsky Hierarchy” for formal
languages
1969 Cook introduces “intractable” problems
or “NP-Hard” problems
1970- Modern computer science: compilers,
computational & complexity theory evolve
5. 5
Languages & Grammars
Or “words”
Image source: Nowak et al. Nature, vol 417, 2002
Languages: “A language is a
collection of sentences of
finite length all constructed
from a finite alphabet of
symbols”
Grammars: “A grammar can
be regarded as a device that
enumerates the sentences of
a language” - nothing more,
nothing less
N. Chomsky, Information
and Control, Vol 2, 1959
8. 8
Alphabet
An alphabet is a finite, non-empty set of
symbols
We use the symbol ∑ (sigma) to denote an
alphabet
Examples:
Binary: ∑ = {0,1}
All lower case letters: ∑ = {a,b,c,..z}
Alphanumeric: ∑ = {a-z, A-Z, 0-9}
DNA molecule letters: ∑ = {a,c,g,t}
…
9. 9
Strings
A string or word is a finite sequence of symbols
chosen from ∑
Empty string is (or “epsilon”)
Length of a string w, denoted by “|w|”, is
equal to the number of (non- ) characters in the
string
E.g., x = 010100 |x| = 6
x = 01 0 1 00 |x| = ?
xy = concatentation of two strings x and y
10. 10
Powers of an alphabet
Let ∑ be an alphabet.
∑k = the set of all strings of length k
∑* = ∑0 U ∑1 U ∑2 U …
∑+ = ∑1 U ∑2 U ∑3 U …
11. 11
Languages
L is a said to be a language over alphabet ∑, only if L ∑*
this is because ∑* is the set of all strings (of all possible
length including 0) over the given alphabet ∑
Examples:
1. Let L be the language of all strings consisting of n 0’s
followed by n 1’s:
L = {, 01, 0011, 000111,…}
2. Let L be the language of all strings of with equal number of
0’s and 1’s:
L = {, 01, 10, 0011, 1100, 0101, 1010, 1001,…}
Definition: Ø denotes the Empty language
Let L = {}; Is L=Ø? NO
Canonical ordering of strings in the language
12. 12
The Membership Problem
Given a string w ∑*and a language L
over ∑, decide whether or not w L.
Example:
Let w = 100011
Q) Is w the language of strings with
equal number of 0s and 1s?
13. 13
Finite Automata
Some Applications
Software for designing and checking the behavior
of digital circuits
Lexical analyzer of a typical compiler
Software for scanning large bodies of text (e.g.,
web pages) for pattern finding
Software for verifying systems of all types that
have a finite number of states (e.g., stock market
transaction, communication/network protocol)
14. 14
Finite Automata : Examples
On/Off switch
Modeling recognition of the word “then”
Start state Final state
Transition Intermediate
state
action
state
15. 15
Structural expressions
Grammars
Regular expressions
E.g., unix style to capture city names such
as “Palo Alto CA”:
[A-Z][a-z]*([ ][A-Z][a-z]*)*[ ][A-Z][A-Z]
Start with a letter
A string of other
letters (possibly
empty)
Other space delimited words
(part of city name)
Should end w/ 2-letter state code
17. 17
Deductive Proofs
From the given statement(s) to a conclusion
statement (what we want to prove)
Logical progression by direct implications
Example for parsing a statement:
“If y≥4, then 2y≥y2.”
(there are other ways of writing this).
given conclusion
18. 18
Example: Deductive proof
Let Claim 1: If y≥4, then 2y≥y2.
Let x be any number which is obtained by adding the squares
of 4 positive integers.
Claim 2:
Given x and assuming that Claim 1 is true, prove that 2x≥x2
Proof:
1) Given: x = a2 + b2 + c2 + d2
2) Given: a≥1, b≥1, c≥1, d≥1
3) a2≥1, b2≥1, c2≥1, d2≥1 (by 2)
4) x ≥ 4 (by 1 & 3)
5) 2x ≥ x2 (by 4 and Claim 1)
“implies” or “follows”
19. On Theorems, Lemmas and Corollaries
We typically refer to:
A major result as a “theorem”
An intermediate result that we show to prove a larger result as a
“lemma”
A result that follows from an already proven result as a
“corollary”
19
An example:
Theorem: The height of an n-node binary
tree is at least floor(lg n)
Lemma: Level i of a perfect binary tree has
2i nodes.
Corollary: A perfect binary tree of height h
has 2h+1-1 nodes.
20. 20
Quantifiers
“For all” or “For every”
Universal proofs
Notation=
“There exists”
Used in existential proofs
Notation=
Implication is denoted by =>
E.g., “IF A THEN B” can also be written as “A=>B”
21. 21
Proving techniques
By contradiction
Start with the statement contradictory to the given
statement
E.g., To prove (A => B), we start with:
(A and ~B)
… and then show that could never happen
What if you want to prove that “(A and B => C or D)”?
By induction
(3 steps) Basis, inductive hypothesis, inductive step
By contrapositive statement
If A then B ≡ If ~B then ~A
22. 22
Proving techniques…
By counter-example
Show an example that disproves the claim
Note: There is no such thing called a
“proof by example”!
So when asked to prove a claim, an example that
satisfied that claim is not a proof
23. 23
Different ways of saying the same
thing
“If H then C”:
i. H implies C
ii. H => C
iii. C if H
iv. H only if C
v. Whenever H holds, C follows
24. 24
“If-and-Only-If” statements
“A if and only if B” (A <==> B)
(if part) if B then A ( <= )
(only if part) A only if B ( => )
(same as “if A then B”)
“If and only if” is abbreviated as “iff”
i.e., “A iff B”
Example:
Theorem: Let x be a real number. Then floor of x =
ceiling of x if and only if x is an integer.
Proofs for iff have two parts
One for the “if part” & another for the “only if part”
