Base Claim:
1. A method of parsing ordered sequences of items comprising: accessing, at a processor, a process for generating ordered sequences of items, the process having one or more probability distributions representing possible ordered sequences of items involved in the process; receiving, at the processor, at least one example of at least part of an ordered sequence of items compatible with the probabilistic process; updating the one or more probability distributions by carrying out inference using the at least one example; and outputting information about the one or more probability distributions.

Claim 10:
10. A method as claimed in claim 1 comprising using the updated probability distributions to complete a partial example, the partial example being of an object having a plurality of properties, at least one of which is known and at least one of which is unknown, and where using the updated probability distributions to complete the partial example comprises computing values of at least one of the unknown property values.
