Scope
 +
 +
There has been growing interest over the last few years in learning
 +
grammars from natural language text (and structured or semi-structured
 +
text).  The family of techniques enabling such learning is usually
 +
called "grammatical inference" or "grammar induction".
 +
 +
The field of grammatical inference is often subdivided into formal
 +
grammatical inference, where researchers aim to proof efficient
 +
learnability of classes of grammars, and empirical grammatical
 +
inference, where the aim is to learn structure from data.  In this
 +
case the existence of an underlying grammar is just regarded as a
 +
hypothesis and what is sought is to better describe the language
 +
through some automatically learned rules.
 +
 +
Both formal and empirical grammatical inference have been linked with
 +
(computational) linguistics.  Formal learnability of grammars has been
 +
used in discussions on how people learn language.  Some people mention
 +
proofs of (non-)learnability of certain classes of grammars as
 +
arguments in the empiricist/nativist discussion.  On the more
 +
practical side, empirical systems that learn grammars have been
 +
applied to natural language.  Instead of proving whether classes of
 +
grammars can be learnt, the aim here is to provide practical learning
 +
systems that automatically introduce structure in language.  Example
 +
fields where initial research has been done are syntactic parsing,
 +
morphological analysis of words, and bilingual modeling (or machine
 +
translation).
 +
 +
This workshop at EACL 2009 aims to explore the state-of-the-art in
 +
these topics.  In particular, we aim at bringing formal and empirical
 +
grammatical inference researchers closer together with researchers in
 +
the field of computational linguistics.

Scope

There has been growing interest over the last few years in learning
grammars from natural language text (and structured or semi-structured
text).  The family of techniques enabling such learning is usually
called "grammatical inference" or "grammar induction".

The field of grammatical inference is often subdivided into formal
grammatical inference, where researchers aim to proof efficient
learnability of classes of grammars, and empirical grammatical
inference, where the aim is to learn structure from data.  In this
case the existence of an underlying grammar is just regarded as a
hypothesis and what is sought is to better describe the language
through some automatically learned rules.

Both formal and empirical grammatical inference have been linked with
(computational) linguistics.  Formal learnability of grammars has been
used in discussions on how people learn language.  Some people mention
proofs of (non-)learnability of certain classes of grammars as
arguments in the empiricist/nativist discussion.  On the more
practical side, empirical systems that learn grammars have been
applied to natural language.  Instead of proving whether classes of
grammars can be learnt, the aim here is to provide practical learning
systems that automatically introduce structure in language.  Example
fields where initial research has been done are syntactic parsing,
morphological analysis of words, and bilingual modeling (or machine
translation).

This workshop at EACL 2009 aims to explore the state-of-the-art in
these topics.  In particular, we aim at bringing formal and empirical
grammatical inference researchers closer together with researchers in
the field of computational linguistics.

   - text to speech,
   - automatic translation,
   - transliteration,
   - spelling correction, ...

 * Learning (classes of) grammars (e.g. subclasses of the Chomsky
   Hierarchy) from linguistic inputs
 * Comparing learning results in different frameworks (e.g. membership
   vs. correction queries)
 * Learning linguistic structures (e.g. phonological features,
   lexicon) from the acoustic signal
