From Context-Free to Natural Language Grammars: A Genetic Approach

From Context-Free to Natural Language Grammars: A Genetic Approach

This project explores the use of Genetic Programming to evolve a population of context-free grammars, to approximate the structure of real grammars (such as English or Spanish).

Grammar is a fundamental aspect of natural language, defining the structure and rules that govern linguistic expressions. Understanding and modeling real-world grammars is crucial for applications in natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics.


This project explores the use of Genetic Programming to evolve a population of context-free grammars (CFGs), iteratively refining them to approximate the structure of real grammars (such as English or Spanish). By applying evolutionary principles such as selection, crossover, and mutation, the system progressively improves the grammars' ability to generate sentences that resemble real structures.
