An Earley-type recognizer for dependency grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper is a first attempt to fill a gap in the dependency literature, by providing a mathematical result on the complexity of recognition with a dependency grammar. The paper describes an improved Earley-type recognizer with a complexity O(IGl2n3). The improvement is due to a precompilation of the dependency rules into parse tables, that determine the conditions of applicability of two primary actions, predict and scan, used in recognition.

Memoization of Top Down Parsing
In a paper published in this journal, Norvig (1991) pointed out that memoization of a topdown recognizer program produces a program that behaves similiarly to a chart parser. This is not surprising to anyone familiar with logic-programming approaches to NLP. For example, the Earley deduction proof procedure is essentially a memoizing version of the top-down SLD proof procedure employed by Prolo...
متن کاملPractical Earley Parsing
Earley’s parsing algorithm is a general algorithm, able to handle any context-free grammar. As with most parsing algorithms, however, the presence of grammar rules having empty right-hand sides complicates matters. By analyzing why Earley’s algorithm struggles with these grammar rules, we have devised a simple solution to the problem. Our empty-rule solution leads to a new type of finite automa...
متن کاملAn annotation scheme for Persian based on Autonomous Phrases Theory and Universal Dependencies
A treebank is a corpus with linguistic annotations above the level of the parts of speech. During the first half of the present decade, three treebanks have been developed for Persian either originally or subsequently based on dependency grammar: Persian Treebank (PerTreeBank), Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank, and Uppsala Persian Dependency Treebank (UPDT). The syntactic analysis of a sen...
متن کاملAn Incremental Earley Parser for Simple Range Concatenation Grammar
We present an Earley-style parser for simple range concatenation grammar, a formalism strongly equivalent to linear context-free rewriting systems. Furthermore, we present different filters which reduce the number of items in the parsing chart. An implementation shows that parses can be obtained in a reasonable time.
متن کاملPolynomial Time and Space Shift-Reduce Parsing of Arbitrary Context-free Grammars
We introduce an algorithm for designing a predictive left to right shift-reduce non-deterministic push-down machine corresponding to an arbitrary unrestricted context-free grammar and an algorithm for efficiently driving this machine in pseudo-parallel. The performance of the resulting parser is formally proven to be superior to Earley's parser (1970). The technique employed consists in constru...
