Recently, different theoretical learning results have been found for a variety of contextfree grammar subclasses through the use of distributional learning [1]. However, these results are still not extended to probabilistic grammars. In this work, we give a practical algorithm, with some proven properties, that learns a subclass of probabilistic grammars from positive data. A minimum satisfiability solver is used to direct the search towards small grammars. Experiments on well-known context-free languages and artificial natural language grammars give positive results. Moreover, our analysis shows that the type of grammars induced by our algorithm are, in theory, capable of modelling context-free features of natural language syntax. One of our experiments shows that our algorithm can potentially outperform the state-of-the-art in unsupervised parsing on the WSJ10 corpus.

We prove the existence of a canonical form for semi-deterministic transducers with sets of pairwise incomparable output strings. Based on this, we develop an algorithm which learns semi-deterministic transducers given access to translation queries. We also prove that there is no learning algorithm for semi-deterministic transducers that uses only domain knowledge.
