QSMM An adaptive state model development framework

What is QSMM?

QSMM is the recursive acronym for "QSMM State Machine Model". It is meant to be a framework for learning finite automatons that perform goal-directed interaction with entities exhibiting deterministic or stochastic behavior. QSMM implements the rudiments of a toolchain for working with probabilistic assembler programs. During the last decade, the focus of QSMM development shifted to adaptive parsing and learning context-free grammars by template.
