We study parsing of tree adjoining grammars with particular emphasis on the use of shared forests to represent all the parse trees deriving a well-formed string. We show that ther...
In the literature, Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAGs) are propagated to be adequate for natural language description -- analysis as well as generation. In this paper we concentrate on...
Much of the power of probabilistic methods in modelling language comes from their ability to compare several derivations for the same string in the language. An important starting...

Tree Adjoining Grammars have well-known advantages, but are typically considered too difficult for practical systems. We demonstrate that, when done right, adjoining improves tran...
