Statistical agenda parsing
Robert Bobrow · 1991
This paper presents the results of converting a standard Graham/Harrison/Ruzzo (GHR) parser for a unification grammar into an agenda-driven parsing system. The agenda is controlled by statistical measures of grammar-rule likelihood obtained from a training set.The techniques in the agenda parser lead to substantial reductions in chart size and parse time, and can be applied to any chart-based parsing algorithm without hand-tuning.
