The recognition algorithm above can easily be turned into a parsing algorithm by letting an implementation keep track of which items were derived from which other items, as instantiations of the consequent and the antecedents, respectively, of the inference rule in figure 1.

A probabilistic parsing algorithm that computes pg([w1, 1112]), defined in (1), can also be obtained from the recognition algorithm above, by associating each item with a probability.

Computation of inside probabilities for PSCFGs is a well-known problem that can be solved using off-the-shelf algorithms that extend basic parsing algorithms .

This contrasts with the techniques proposed by J elinek and Lafferty (1991) and by Stolcke (1995), which are extensions of parsing algorithms for probabilistic context-free grammars, and require considerably more involved proofs of correctness.

Computing paprefixflvl, 212]) directly using a generic probabilistic parsing algorithm for PSCFGs is difficult, due to the presence of epsilon rules and unit rules.

apply generic probabilistic parsing algorithms for PSCFGs, such as the inside algorithm discussed in section 3, in order to compute the desired prefix probabilities for the source PSCFG Q.

For SCFG, Satta and Peserico (2005) showed that the exponent in the time complexity of parsing algorithms must grow at least as fast as the square root of the rule rank, and Gildea and §tefankovic (2007) tightened this bound to be linear in the rank.

We provide what is to our knowledge the first NP-hardness result for a grammar factorization problem, which we hope will aid in understanding parsing algorithms in general.

Existing parsing algorithms for LCFRSs exploit dynamic programming.

The maximum fanout f realized by a parsing strategy determines the space complexity of the parsing algorithm .
