Relevant URL: Automata theory and formal languages don't get any respect, but they
should, because there are still many interesting and beautiful open
problems to think about.
In this talk I will give a personal view of some of my favorite open problems from these fields. Probably some of them would succumb to a few hours of thought by a bright MIT student, so come and be prepared to solve them.
