Unsupervised learning of natural languages

I thought people on this list may be interested in the following paper:

Unsupervised learning of natural languages
Zach Solan, David Horn, Eytan Ruppin, and Shimon Edelman

This inducts grammar rule from raw data (unsegmented writing,
continuous speech, etc.), and is also generative and predictive. The
algorithm is also believed to be linear, thus computationally
feasible.

Applying this to your conlang and generating few sentences may be an
interesting experience... If someone can implement this.
