Abstract
It is shown that grammatical inference is applicable to natural language processing. Given the wide and complex range of structures appearing in an unrestricted natural language like English, full grammatical inference, yielding a comprehensive syntactic and semantic definition of English, is too much to hope for at present. Instead, the authors focus on techniques for dealing with ambiguity resolution by probabilistic ranking; this does not require a full formal Chomskyan grammar. They give a short overview of the different levels and methods being investigated at CCALAS for probabilistic ranking of candidates in ambiguous English input.
