We present a new variant of the Earley parsing algorithm capable of efficiently supporting context-free grammars with regular right hand-sides. We present the core state-machine d...
We propose an algebra of languages and transformations as a means for extending s syntactically. The algebra provides a layer of high-level abstractions built on top of languages ...
Weighted tree grammars (for short: WTG) are an extension of weighted context-free grammars that generate trees instead of strings. They can be used in natural language parsing to d...
Tree substitution grammars (TSGs) offer many advantages over context-free grammars (CFGs), but are hard to learn. Past approaches have resorted to heuristics. In this paper, we le...
Abstract. We present two novel approaches to parsing context-free languages. The first approach is based on an extension of Brzozowski’s derivative from regular expressions to c...
Communication with XML often involves pre-agreed document types. In this paper, we propose an offline parser generation approach to enhance online processing performance for docum...
In this paper, we consider the enumeration of context-free languages. In particular, for any reasonable descriptional complexity measure for context-free grammars, we demonstrate ...

Abstract. RNA shapes, introduced by Giegerich et al. (17), provide a useful classification of the branching complexity for RNA secondary structures. In this paper, we derive an exa...
The generalized LR parsing algorithm for context-free grammars is extended for the case of Boolean grammars, which are a generalization of the context-free grammars with logical c...
Scannerless generalized parsing techniques allow parsers to be derived directly from unified, declarative specifications. Unfortunately, in order to uniquely parse existing progra...
