First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for inferring a grammar from a plurality of example sentences, including:
- selecting sentences having a common suffix or prefix component;
identifying the other of said suffix or prefix component of each selected sentence;
generating rules for generating the example sentences and the other components; and
reducing the right hand side of each rule on the basis of the right hand sides of the other rules.

Abstract
A grammatical inference system for inferring a grammar from a plurality of example sentences. The system selects sentences having a common suffix or prefix component; identifies the other of said suffix or prefix component of each selected sentence; generating rules for generating the example sentences and the other components; reduces the right hand side of each rule on the basis of the right hand sides of the other rules; and generates a grammar on the basis of the reduced rules.

7. A process for inferring a grammar from a plurality of positive and negative example sentences and a starting grammar, including:
-
identifying one or more shortest prefix components common only to said plurality of negative example sentences; identifying rules of the starting grammar for generating said one or more shortest prefix components; and removing one or more of said one or more shortest prefix components by removing one or more of said rules. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A process for inferring a grammar in the limit from a plurality of positive and negative example sentences, including:
-
identifying in the limit a grammar from only the positive example sentences using machine learning; and generating, on the basis of said grammar and said plurality of positive and negative example sentences, an output grammar that can generate all of the positive example sentences but cannot generate any of the negative example sentences.

18. A grammatical inference system, including a merging component for selecting sentences having a common suffix or prefix component;
- identifying the other of said suffix or prefix component of each selected sentence;
generating rules for generating the example sentences and the other components;
