Oates Papers ------------ I don't have much to say today. Context-Free Grammar Learning ----------------------------- Wants to learn context-free grammars from data. Wants to do this incrementally to make it more realistic. Compares to inside-outside algorithm (EM). Cites Oates (2001) for identifying words and denotations from data. This is his thesis. SCFGs are a representation used in both classical AI linguistic processing and machine learning. Cites Stolcke (1994) for learning the structure of SCFGs; this paper focuses on parameter learning. On page 3, the "X->z" production should probably be "Z->z". There's also a typo concerning the slow increase. It says there is a multiplication by 0.01, which should be 1.01.
