Research Abstract

Recently the literature showed that context-free languages with a special property reflecting an aspect of natural language phenomena are efficiently learnable from positive data. Generalizing the preceding research, our project has presented efficient algorithms that learn from positive data even richer classes of context-free languages as well as those of mildly context-sensitive languages, which handle some non-context-free phenomena observed in natural languages. Moreover, our research project has proposed techniques that learn even more expressive classes of languages from positive data with the aid of a teacher who answers limited questions from the learner.
