In this paper, we show that one can reduce the task of learning a semantic parser to a Probabilistic Context Free Grammar (PCFG) learning task, and more generally, that grounded learning tasks are not in principle beyond the scope of grammatical inference techniques.
we show how to formulate the task of learning a semantic parser as discussed by Chen, Kim andMooney (2008, 2010) as the task of learning a PCFG from strings.
