PAC Learning of Some Subclasses of Context-Free Grammars with Basic Distributional Properties from Positive Data

Abstract

In recent years different interesting subclasses of cfl s have been found to be learnable by techniques generically called distributional learning . The theoretical study on the exact learning of cfl s by those techniques under different learning scheme is now quite mature. On the other hand, positive results on the pac learnability of cfl s are rather limited and quite weak. This paper shows that several subclasses of context-free languages that are known to be exactly learnable with membership queries by distributional learning techniques are pac learnable from positive data under some assumptions on the string distribution.
