Abstract

This paper proposes a grammatical inference algorithm to learn input-sensitive tier-based strictly local languages across multiple tiers from positive data only, when the locality of the tier-constraints and the tier-projection function is set to 2 (MITSL; De Santo and Graf, 2019). We conduct simulations showing that the algorithm succeeds in learning MITSL patterns over a set of artificial languages.

Keywords: Grammatical inference, subregular languages, learning, phonotactics, formal language theory
