This document discusses approximating context-free grammar ambiguity, which is undecidable. It presents a characterization of ambiguity in terms of vertical and horizontal ambiguity. It then introduces an approximation framework based on regular approximations of context-free grammars. Specifically, it describes an approximation A_MN based on Mohri and Nederhof's regular approximation of CFGs, and proves properties about its ability to safely determine if a grammar is unambiguous.
