GRAEL: an agent-based evolutionary computing approach for natural language grammar development
Guy De Pauw · 2003
This paper describes an agent-based evolutionary computing technique called GRAEL (Grammar Evolution), that is able to perform different natural language grammar optimization and induction tasks. Two different instantiations of the GRAEL- environment are described in this paper: in GRAEL- 1 large annotated corpora are used to bootstrap grammatical structure in a society of agents, who engage in a series of communicative attempts, during which they redistribute grammatical information to reflect useful statistics for the task of parsing.
