Synopsis

State of the Art on Grammatical Inference Using Evolutionary Method presents an approach for  grammatical inference (GI) using evolutionary algorithms. Grammatical inference deals with the standard learning procedure to acquire grammars based on evidence about the language. It has been extensively studied due to its high importance in various fields of engineering and science.  The book's prime purpose is to enhance the current state-of-the-art of grammatical inference methods and present new evolutionary algorithms-based approaches for context free grammar induction. The book's focus lies in the development of robust genetic algorithms for context free grammar induction.

The new algorithms discussed in this book incorporate Boolean-based operators during offspring generation within the execution of the genetic algorithm. Hence, the user has no limitation on utilizing the evolutionary methods for grammatical inference.

• Discusses and summarizes the latest developments in Grammatical Inference, with a focus on Evolutionary Methods
• Provides an understanding of premature convergence as well as genetic algorithms
• Presents a performance analysis of genetic algorithms as well as a complete look into the wide range of applications of Grammatical Inference methods
• Demonstrates how to develop a robust experimental environment to conduct experiments using evolutionary methods and algorithms

From the Back Cover

Multilingual text data are increasing day by day, which creates opportunities and challenges in the field of computational linguistics. State of the Art on Grammatical Inference Using Evolutionary Method enriches the domains of language processing with improved performance. This book is a resource that presents an approach for the grammatical inference (GI) using evolutionary algorithms. Grammatical inference deals with the standard learning procedure to acquire grammars based on the evidence about the language. It has been extensively studied due to its high importance in the various fields of engineering and science. Typically, GI as a research domain uses the unsupervised learning procedure for extracting grammatical description from a set of corpus or textual data. Several proposed approaches to GI have faced various challenges; as such, researchers have been motivated to develop a more effective approach for grammatical inference.

The prime purpose of this book is to enhance the current state of the art of grammatical inference method and present new evolutionary algorithms-based approaches for context free grammar induction. The focus is on the development of robust genetic algorithms for context free grammar induction. The key issue with any evolutionary method is handling premature convergence – a situation when diversity of population gets decreased over generations. The new algorithms discussed in this book incorporate Boolean-based operators during offspring generation within the execution of the genetic algorithm. Hence, the user has no limitation on utilizing the evolutionary methods for the grammatical inference.
