generalized Algebraic Dynamic Programming

ADPfusion combines stream-fusion (using the stream interface provided by the vector library) and type-level programming to provide highly efficient dynamic programming combinators.

ADPfusion allows writing dynamic programs for single- and multi-tape problems. Inputs can be sequences, or sets. New input types can be defined, without having to rewrite this library thanks to the open-world assumption of ADPfusion.

The library provides the machinery for Outside and Ensemble algorithms as well. Ensemble algorithms combine Inside and Outside calculations.

Starting with version 0.4.1 we support writing multiple context-free grammars (interleaved syntactic variables). Such grammars have applications in bioinformatics and linguistics.

The homepage provides a number of tutorial-style examples, with linear and context-free grammars over sequence and set inputs.

The formal background for generalized algebraic dynamic programming and ADPfusion is described in a number of papers. These can be found on the gADP homepage and in the README.

Note: The core ADPfusion library only provides machinery for linear language over sequences. The add-ons ADPfusionSubword, ADPfusionForest, and others provide specialized machinery for other types of formal languages.

Introduction

ADPfusion combines stream-fusion (using the stream interface provided by the vector library) and type-level programming to provide highly efficient dynamic programming combinators.

From the programmers' viewpoint, ADPfusion behaves very much like the original ADP implementation http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/adp/ developed by Robert Giegerich and colleagues, though both combinator semantics and backtracking are different.

The library internals, however, are designed not only to speed up ADP by a large margin (which this library does), but also to provide further runtime improvements by allowing the programmer to switch over to other kinds of data structures with better time and space behaviour. Most importantly, dynamic programming tables can be strict, removing indirections present in lazy, boxed tables.

As an example, even rather complex ADP code tends to be completely optimized to loops that use only unboxed variables (Int# and others, indexIntArray# and others).

Completely novel (compared to ADP), is the idea of allowing efficient monadic combinators. This facilitates writing code that performs backtracking, or samples structures stochastically, among others things.

Installation
