Abstract

In this paper, a heuristic algorithmfor the inference of an arbitrary context-free grammar is presented. The input data consist of a finite set of representative words chosen from a (possibly infinite) context-free language and of a finite set of counterexamples--words which do not belong to the language. The time complexity of the algorithm is polynomially bounded.The experiments have been performed for a dozen or so languages investigated by other researchers and our results are reported.
