Abstract

The paper presents the state of the art of machine learning, agent technologies and formal languages, not considering them as isolated research areas, but focusing on the relationship among them. First, we consider the relationship between learning and agents. Second, the relationship between machine learning and formal languages. And third, the relationship between agents and formal languages. Finally, we point to some promising directions on the intersection among these three areas.
