While most research in Gold-style learning focuses on learning formal languages, we consider the identification of computable structures, specifically equivalence structures. In our core model the learner gets more and more information about which pairs of elements of a structure are related and which are not. The aim of the learner is to find (an effective description of) the isomorphism type of the structure presented in the limit. In accordance with language learning we call this learning criterion InfEx-learning (explanatory learning from informant). Our main contribution is a complete characterization of which families of equivalence structures are InfEx-learnable. This characterization allows us to derive a bound of $mathbf{0}$ on the computational complexity required to learn uniformly enumerable families of equivalence structures. We also investigate variants of InfEx-learning, including learning from text (where the only information provided is which elements are related, and not which elements are not related) and finite learning (where the first actual conjecture of the learner has to be correct). Finally, we show how learning families of structures relates to learning classes of languages by mapping learning tasks for structures to equivalent learning tasks for languages.
We study the algorithmic complexity of embeddings between bi-embeddable equivalence structures. We define the notions of computable bi-embeddable categoricity, (relative) $Delta^0_alpha$ bi-embeddable categoricity, and degrees of bi-embeddable catego
A general theme of computable structure theory is to investigate when structures have copies of a given complexity $Gamma$. We discuss such problem for the case of equivalence structures and preorders. We show that there is a $Pi^0_1$ equivalence str
Logicians and philosophers of science have proposed various formal criteria for theoretical equivalence. In this paper, we examine two such proposals: definitional equivalence and categorical equivalence. In order to show precisely how these two well
We combine computable structure theory and algorithmic learning theory to study learning of families of algebraic structures. Our main result is a model-theoretic characterization of the class $mathbf{InfEx}_{cong}$, consisting of the structures whos
We study strong types and Galois groups in model theory from a topological and descriptive-set-theoretical point of view, leaning heavily on topological dynamical tools. More precisely, we give an abstract (not model theoretic) treatment of problems
