Transforming Regular Expressions into Neural Networks for Text Classification and Slot Filling

This article explains how regular expressions can be converted into equivalent neural network models—FA‑RNN for classification and FST‑RNN for slot filling—by leveraging finite‑state automata, tensor decomposition, and pretrained word embeddings, achieving zero‑shot performance and strong results in low‑resource scenarios.
