Abstract
Many tasks in text and speech processing and computational biology require estimating
functions mapping strings to real numbers. A broad class of such functions
can be defined by weighted automata. Spectral methods based on the singular
value decomposition of a Hankel matrix have been recently proposed for
learning a probability distribution represented by a weighted automaton from a
training sample drawn according to this same target distribution. In this paper, we
show how spectral methods can be extended to the problem of learning a general
weighted automaton from a sample generated by an arbitrary distribution. The
main obstruction to this approach is that, in general, some entries of the Hankel
matrix may be missing. We present a solution to this problem based on solving a
constrained matrix completion problem. Combining these two ingredients, matrix
completion and spectral method, a whole new family of algorithms for learning
general weighted automata is obtained. We present generalization bounds for a
particular algorithm in this family. The proofs rely on a joint stability analysis of
matrix completion and spectral learning.
