Fast equivalence-checking for normed context-free processes
Bisimulation equivalence is decidable in polynomial time over normed graphs generated by a context-free grammar. We present a new algorithm, working in time O(n5 ), thus improving...

Efficiently building a parse tree from a regular expression
We show in this paper that parsing with regular expressions instead of context-free grammars, when it is possible, is desirable. We present efficient algorithms for performing diff...

A Generalized Greibach Normal Form for Definite Clause Grammars
An arbitrary definite clause grammar can be transforaled into a so-called Generalized Greibach Normal Form (GGNF), a generalization of the classical Greibach Normat Form (GNF) for...

Computational Complexity of Probabilistic Disambiguation by means of Tree-Grammars
This paper studies the computational complexity of disambiguation under probabilistic tree-grammars as in (Bod, 1992; Schabes and Waters, 1993). It presents a proof that the follo...

Boolean Grammars
A new generalization of context-free grammars is introduced: Boolean grammars allow the use of all set-theoretic operations as an integral part of the formalism of rules. Rigorous...

An Alternative Method of Training Probabilistic LR Parsers
We discuss existing approaches to train LR parsers, which have been used for statistical resolution of structural ambiguity. These approaches are nonoptimal, in the sense that a c...

Constructive Learning of Context-Free Languages with a Subpansive Tree
A subpansive tree is a rooted tree that gives a partial order of nonterminal symbols of a context-free grammar. We formalize subpansive trees as background knowledge of CFGs, and i...

A collection of tools for making automata theory and formal languages come alive
We present a collection of new and enhanced tools for experimenting with concepts in formal languages and automata theory. New tools, written in Java, include JFLAP for creating a...

XML Validation for Context-Free Grammars
String expression analysis conservatively approximates the possible string values generated by a program. We consider the validation of a context-free grammar obtained by the analy...

Conservative Ambiguity Detection in Context-Free Grammars
The ability to detect ambiguities in context-free grammars is vital for their use in several fields, but the problem is undecidable in the general case. We present a safe, conser...
