Optimizing Typed Feature Structure Grammar Parsing through Non-Statistical Indexing
This paper introduces an indexing method based on static analysis of grammar rules and type signatures for typed feature structure grammars (TFSGs). The static analysis tries to p...

Generalized Multitext Grammars
Generalized Multitext Grammar (GMTG) is a synchronous grammar formalism that is weakly equivalent to Linear Context-Free Rewriting Systems (LCFRS), but retains much of the notatio...

Statistical Machine Translation by Parsing
In an ordinary syntactic parser, the input is a string, and the grammar ranges over strings. This paper explores generalizations of ordinary parsing algorithms that allow the inpu...

Alternative approaches for Generating Bodies of Grammar Rules
We compare two approaches for describing and generating bodies of rules used for natural language parsing. In today's parsers rule bodies do not exist a priori but are genera...
