Grammar Induction for Minimalist Grammars using Variational Bayesian Inference : A Technical Report

This work addresses grammar induction for minimalist grammars, likely for computational linguistics researchers, but appears incremental as it applies an existing inference method to a formalized grammar without new data.

The authors tackled the problem of probabilistic minimalist grammar parameter estimation by formalizing a minimalist grammar and applying variational Bayesian inference to it, but no concrete results or numbers were reported.
