Significance of the grammar classification • Each of the four grammar classes has a simple yet powerful automaton. • A useful connection between grammars, automata, and languages. • Simple class of automaton for simple class of grammar.
The Chomsky Hierarchy of Grammars • Languages: r.e., CSL, CFL, RL • Grammars: Chomsky Hierarchy -- 0, 1, 2, 3 • Automata: TM, LBA, PDA, FA • To prove a language is to be in certain language class, you may show the language can be generated from associated grammar class. For example, G = 2 => L = CFL, G = 0 => A = TM
Context Sensitive Grammar Construction • CSL -- Context Sensitive Grammar, none of the examples is easy. • The next fifty years will see natural language processing as a dominant issue -- one of research areas of Artificial Intelligence.
