A Case Study in Natural Language Processing: The RUS System.
Mansky,Arthur William · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1980
The RUS system (Bobrow, 1978) is a new parser for English which allows semantically directed parsing by interleaving calls to a separate, independent semantic component with syntatic processing in a case-oriented ATN grammar. This thesis discusses the syntactic component (RUS), the points at which it calls a semantic component, and the nature of the syntactic-semantic interaction occurs, the nature of the interaction, and the structure of the dictionary are the only assumptions placed on the semantic component.
