Grammatical Inference For Computational Linguistics

This Book Provides A Thorough Introduction To The Subfield Of Theoretical Computer Science Known As Grammatical Inference From A Computational Linguistic Perspective. Grammatical Inference Provides Principled Methods For Developing Computationally Sound Algorithms That Learn Structure From Strings Of Symbols. The Relationship To Computational Linguistics Is Natural Because Many Research Problems In Computational Linguistics Are Learning Problems On Words, Phrases, And Sentences: What Algorithm Can Take As Input Some Finite Amount Of Data (for Instance A Corpus, Annotated Or Otherwise) And Output A System That Behaves Correctly On Specific Tasks?
