@techreport{Mernik:2003, abstract = {Machine learning of grammars finds many applications in syntactic pattern recognition, computational biology, natural language acquisition, etc. In this paper a new application of grammatical inference is suggested. Development of domain-specific languages is a hard problem for domain experts not versed in programming language design. We believe that syntax of a small domain-specific language can be inferred from positive and negative programs provided by domain experts. In our work we are the using genetic programming approach in grammatical inference. Grammar-specific heuristic operators and non-random construction of the initial population are proposed to achieve this task. Suitability of the approach is shown by small examples where underlying context-free grammars are successfully inferred.}, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:43:18.000+0100}, author = {Mernik, Marjan and {\v C}repin{\v s}ek, Matej and Gerli{\v c}, Goran and {\v Z}umer, Viljem and Bryant, Barrett R. and Sprague, Alan}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/22e2abadb70a8a0c33ee0f138128ae214/diego_ma}, institution = {University of Maribor and The University of Alabama at Birginham}, interhash = {f71371a5d08a2bf4ce5fa746880ad017}, intrahash = {2e2abadb70a8a0c33ee0f138128ae214}, keywords = {machine_learning grammar}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:43:18.000+0100}, title = {Learning Context-Free Grammars using an Evolutionary Approach}, url = {http://www.comp.mq.edu.au/~asloane/plrg/reading/genPar03.pdf}, year = 2003 }
