Introduction Many DSP designs start out in MATLAB and are then translated into C. Unfortunately, MATLAB has a number of quirks that make this translation a headache. MATLAB extends arrays without programmer intervention. It organizes matrices in column major order, while C uses row major order. It uses vector math which must be translated into loops. It indexes the first element of an array wit...

Although MATLAB has become one of the mainstream languages for the machine learning community, there is still skepticism among the Grammatical Inference (GI) community regarding the suitability of MATLAB for implementing and running GI algorithms. In this paper we will present implementation results of several GI algorithms, e.g., RPNI (Regular Positive and Negative Inference), EDSM (Evidence D...
