Abstract

Recent studies on grammatical inference have demonstrated the benefits of the learning strategy called “distributional learning” for context-free and multiple context-free languages. This paper gives a comprehensive view of distributional learning of “context-free” formalisms (roughly in the sense of Courcelle 1987) in terms of abstract categorial grammars, in which existing “context-free” formalisms can be encoded.
