Parikh’s Theorem for Weighted and Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove an analog of Parikh’s theorem for weighted context-free grammars over commutative, idempotent semirings, and exhibit a stochastic context-free grammar with behavior that cannot be realized by any stochastic right-linear context-free grammar. Finally, we show that every unary stochastic context-free grammar with polynomially-bounded ambiguity has an equivalent stochastic right-linear context-free grammar.

Extending Parikh's Theorem to Weighted and Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars
We prove an analog of Parikh’s theorem for weighted context-free grammars over commutative, idempotent semirings, and exhibit a stochastic context-free grammar with behavior that cannot be realized by any stochastic right-linear context-free grammar. Finally, we show that every unary stochastic context-free grammar with polynomially-bounded ambiguity has an equivalent stochastic right-linear co...
متن کاملAn Extension of Parikh's Theorem beyond Idempotence
The commutative ambiguity cambG,X of a context-free grammar G with start symbol X assigns to each Parikh vector v the number of distinct leftmost derivations yielding a word with Parikh vector v. Based on the results on the generalization of Newton’s method to ω-continuous semirings [EKL07b, EKL07a, EKL10], we show how to approximate cambG,X by means of rational formal power series, and give a ...
متن کاملStudying impressive parameters on the performance of Persian probabilistic context free grammar parser
In linguistics, a tree bank is a parsed text corpus that annotates syntactic or semantic sentence structure. The exploitation of tree bank data has been important ever since the first large-scale tree bank, The Penn Treebank, was published. However, although originating in computational linguistics, the value of tree bank is becoming more widely appreciated in linguistics research as a whole. F...
متن کاملApproximating Parikh Images for Generating Deterministic Graph Parsers
The Parikh image of a word abstracts from the order of its letters. Parikh’s famous theorem states that the set of Parikh images of a context-free string language forms a semilinear set that can be effectively computed from its grammar. In this paper we study the computation of Parikh images for graph grammars defined by contextual hyperedge replacement (CHR). Our motivation is to generate effi...
متن کاملParikhʼs theorem: A simple and direct automaton construction
Parikh’s theorem states that the Parikh image of a context-free language is semilinear or, equivalently, that every context-free language has the same Parikh image as some regular language. We present a very simple construction that, given a context-free grammar, produces a finite automaton recognizing such a regular language. The Parikh image of a word w over an alphabet {a1, . . . , an} is th...
