A stochastic context free grammar based framework for analysis of protein sequences.

TL;DR: A new Stochastic Context Free Grammar based framework has been introduced allowing the production of binding site descriptors for analysis of protein sequences and suggests that this system may be particularly suited to deal with patterns shared by non-homologous proteins.

A memetic grammar inference algorithm for language learning

TL;DR: An unsupervised incremental algorithm for grammar inference and its application to domain-specific language development are described and a case study of a domain specific language for rendering graphical objects is used to show the applicability of this approach.

Learning deterministic context free grammars: The Omphalos competition

TL;DR: A context-free grammatical inference algorithm operating on positive data only is described, which integrates an information theoretic constituent likelihood measure together with more traditional heuristics based on substitutability and frequency.

Learning Dynamic Event Descriptions in Image Sequences

TL;DR: This work introduces a novel method for representing and classifying events in video sequences using reversible context-free grammars and demonstrates the efficacy of the learning algorithm and the event detection method applied to traffic video sequences.
