Abstract
Use of Generalized Context Trees to assign a unique state from a finite set to any string is provided. The method optionally refines the generalized context tree into a refined generalized context tree having a finite state machine (FSM) property. Refining occurs whenever the generalized context tree does not have the finite state machine property. Alternately, a method for constructing a representation of a source usable within an FSM is provided, comprising evaluating a node comprising a suffix tail and verifying the suffix tail is included in the representation, and inserting at least one node to the representation when the suffix tail is not in the representation.
