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.
