Abstract

In recent years different interesting subclasses of cfls have been found to be learnable by techniques generically called distributional learning. The theoretical study on the exact learning of cfls by those techniques under different learning scheme is now quite mature. On the other hand, positive results on the pac learnability of cfls are rather limited and quite weak. This paper shows that several subclasses of context-free languages that are known to be exactly learnable with membership queries by distributional learning techniques are pac learnable from positive data under some assumptions on the string distribution.
