You are welcome. Indeed, I was tempted to keep it for myself ;-)

As for learning rules, I guess you know the work
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/605753.html or similar. In practical
contexts, it must be integrated with learning the semantical lexicon
(e.g., feature structures), and thus, the "ontology".

    Personally, I found the dissertation highly enlightening and helpful.
Yes, it addresses ambiguity problems with rules (though I debate both of
Matt's descriptors -- the term huge and the term complicated) without
specifying how these rules might be machine-learned -- but doing so is still
a tremendously useful first step.  Further, I think that requiring a model
that learns *all* language rules from unlabeled text (and starting from
scratch) is making the problem far harder than it needs to be.  You didn't
do that as a child so why should you insist upon it for a system?

    Thank you very much for the reference, Lukasz!
