    SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

    ***************************************************
    OMPHALOS CONTEXT-FREE LANGUAGE LEARNING COMPETITION
    ***************************************************
    http://www.irisa.fr/Omphalos/
    ---------------------------------------------------

    Update
    ------

    The Omphalos Context-free Language Learning competition is still
    running and has been quite succesful so far. Five of the first six
    problems have been solved, so do not think that it is an impossible
    task. We have added four new problems for everybody to try and solve.
    Go ahead and try your best.

    Note that everybody can participate, not only people from the ICGI
    community or grammatical inference researchers.

    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
    labeled 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.

    Important Dates
    ---------------

    February 15th 2004 Competition begins
    October 1st 2004 Competition closes
    October 11th 2004 Competition winner announced
