***************************************************
OMPHALOS CONTEXT-FREE LANGUAGE LEARNING COMPETITION
***************************************************
http://www.irisa.fr/Omphalos/
---------------------------------------------------
Intro
-----
Omphalos is the first context-free language learning competition that
forms part of ICGI-2004 (See http://iit.demokritos.gr/icgi04/). The
task is to infer a model of a context-free language from unstructured
examples (both positive and negative) and to use that model to label a
set of test sentences as being either in or out of the language.
The Competition Task
--------------------
We have generated some context-free grammars. For each grammar we have
labelled a set of sentences indicating whether or not those sentences
can be generated from that grammar. The goal of the competition is to
infer a model of each language (such as a grammar) using the training
data. You then need to tag new sentences, indicating whether the
sentences are in the language or not.
