  • Abstract

    In grammatical inference one aims to find underlying grammar or automaton which explains the target language in some way. Context free grammar which represents type 2 grammar in Chomsky hierarchy has many applications in Formal Language Theory, pattern recognition, Speech recognition, Machine learning , Compiler design and Genetic engineering etc. Identification of unknown Context Free grammar of the target language from positive examples is an extensive area in Grammatical Inference/ Grammar induction. In this paper we propose a novel method which finds the equivalent Chomsky Normal form.
