New 'Reverse-Gold Theorem' enables language identification from positive data

Researchers have developed a new theorem, termed the "Reverse-Gold Theorem," which demonstrates that certain languages can be identified using only positive data. This approach utilizes a recursive contrast operator and a bounded-capacity scorer trained via contrastive estimation. The method achieves PAC conditional identification, meaning it can correctly rank most positive examples above negative perturbations with sample complexity polynomial in key parameters. The theorem's hypotheses are instantiated for substitutable context-free languages and subregular classes, with an open conjecture about its placement within the mildly context-sensitive hierarchy.
