Abstract
Grammatical inference of context-free grammars using positive and negative language examples is among the most challenging task in modern artificial and natural language technology. Recently, several implementations combining various techniques, usually including the Backus–Naur form, have been proposed. In this paper, we explore a new implementation of grammatical inference using evolution methods focused on the Greibach normal form and exploiting its properties, and also propose new solutions both in the evolutionary processes and in the corresponding fitness estimation.
