Abstract: We derive a spectral method for unsupervised learning of Weighted Context Free Grammars. We frame WCFG induction as finding a Hankel matrix that has low rank and is linearly constrained to represent a function computed by inside-outside recursions. The proposed algorithm picks the grammar that agrees with a sample and is the simplest with respect to the nuclear norm of the Hankel matrix.
