Incremental Parsing of Parallel Multiple Context-Free Grammars

Paper i proceeding, 2009

Parallel Multiple Context-Free Grammar (PMCFG) is an extension of context-free grammar for which the recognition problem is still solvable in polynomial time. We describe a new parsing algorithm that has the advantage to be incremental and to support PMCFG directly rather than the weaker MCFG formalism. The algorithm is also top-down which allows it to be used for grammar based word prediction.
