Abstract: In this paper, we will describe an algorithm which infers a Moore-type sequential machine from examples of inputs and outputs of an unknown Moore-type sequential machine. The hypothesis output by this inference algorithm is a nondeterministic Moore-type sequential machine which does not conflict with the given examples of inputs and outputs; we will show that the update time of the hypothesis will become a polynomial time of the sum of the lengths of the examples of inputs and outputs. Moreover, we will show that this inference algorithm will identify the Moore-type sequential machine in the limit by using the complete examples of inputs and outputs defined from the structures of the Moore-type sequential machine. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
