摘要

We study positive-data learning of bounded-fan-out linear multiple context-free grammars under a fixed explicit finite monoid homomorphism hh. The main obstacle beyond the context-free case is that an MCFG nonterminal derives a tuple whose components may be placed in a surrounding sentence in different orders. We introduce sentence-interface types as finite external control objects for such tuple occurrences. A type records the permutation of tuple components in the final sentence together with the hh-values of the boundary intervals between them. For reduced working binary linear nondeleting MCFG presentations whose string languages satisfy (f,h)(f,h)-tuple substitutability, we build a typed refinement, a finite characteristic sample, and a canonical positive-data learner. Once the sample contains this characteristic sample and remains contained in the target language, the learner reconstructs the language exactly. Consequently, for fixed fan-out bound ff and fixed explicit hh, the resulting class is identifiable in the limit from positive data. Moreover, the hypothesis associated with any given finite sample is constructible in polynomial time for fixed ff and fixed hh, including output size. Thus sentence-interface control is the finite mechanism that lifts fixed-hh distributional reconstruction from context-free grammars to bounded-fan-out linear MCFGs.
