Presentation Transcript

  1. Transducers Jacob Dison

  2. What is a transducer? • Defined as a device that converts one form of energy to another. • Examples: Motors, Speakers, Microphones, Antennas, Light Bulbs, Potentiometer, Gauges… • Essentially Sensors and Actuators

  3. Finite-State Transducers • Two tapes, one for input and one for output. • Converts a input into an output. • Mealy and Moore machines.

  4. Moore Machine • Invented by Edward F. Moore (1925 -2003) • Wrote Gedanken-experiments on sequential machines (1956) • Associates an output with each state of the machine.

  5. Moore Machine Formal Definition • (K, Σ, O, δ, D,s, A,) • K = States • Σ = Input • O = Output • s = Initial State • A = Final State • δ = Transition Function • D = Output Function

  6. Moore Notation

  7. Stoplight Example

  8. Mealy Machine • Invented by George H. Mealy in 1955 • Associates outputs with transitions.

  9. Mealy Machine Formal Definition • (K, Σ, O, s, A, δ) • K = States • Σ = Input • O = Output • s = Initial State • A = Final State • δ = Transition Function

  10. Mealy Notation

  11. Barcodes!

  12. Parity Bit Generator

  13. Bidirectional Transducers • Works in both directions • Example: Soundex System • Input: Kaylor • Output: K460 • Kahler, Kaler, Kaylor, Keeler, Kellar, Kelleher, Keller, Kelliher, Kilroe, Kilroy, Koehler, Kohler, Koller, and Kyler.

  14. Weighted Transducers • In addition to inputs and outputs, associates a weight, which can be a number of things including time, probability, distance… etc.

  15. Directions

  16. Hidden Markov Models • Nondeterministic Finite State Transducer • Machine is hidden, only outputs can be observed.

  17. HMM
