Irrelevance and Ambiguity

How can (oracle) knowledge of the trigger status of an input sentence affect learning?

The learner is inspecting a sentence S. Given the oracle knowledge, they know that this sentence either

They use this knowledge to inform how they incorporate S into their hypothesis-updating procedure.

A note on parameter numbering

(because I keep mixing this up.)

The parameters are listed and numbered from left to right. SP, HIP, HCP etc are parameter numbers 1, 2, 3 etc. In the integer grammar id representation of a grammar, these are the three most significant bits.

Subject position (SP) is parameter #1, which corresponds to the 13th bit in the integer grammar id and binary bitstring.

Q-inversion (QInv) is parameter #13, which corresponds to the 1st bit in the grammar bitstring.
