  Grammatical Inference (GI) is broadly understood as Machine Learning
of Grammars and Languages from data. Traditionally, GI has been studied
within several contexts: Information Theory, Formal Languages Theory, 
Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, 
Computational Learning Neural Networks, etc. This multidisciplinary
perspective has lead to a lack of a focused research community.
  ICGI 96 keeps aiming to provide a forum for discussion of principles,
theory and applications of all those aspects of Machine Learning that 
explicitly focus on Grammars and Languages. A list of example topics
is given in the full version of this announcement at the URL above.
