The left-corner transform removes left-recursion from (probabilistic) context-free grammars and unification grammars, permitting simple top-down parsing techniques to be used.
This paper examines efficient predictive broad-coverage parsing without dynamic programming. In contrast to bottom-up methods, depth-first top-down parsing produces partial
Log-linear models provide a statistically sound framework for Stochastic ``Unification-Based'' Grammars (SUBGs) and stochastic versions of other kinds of grammars.
This paper describes a method for estimating conditional probability distributions over the parses of ``unification-based'' grammars which can utilize auxiliary
This paper introduces a non-unification-based version of LFG called R-LFG (Resource-based Lexical Functional Grammar), which combines elements from both LFG
