description: | A parsing algorithm for a tree adjoining grammar (TAG) and its parallel implementation on the Connection Machine (CM) are described. A TAG is a formalism for natural language that employs trees as the basic grammar structures. Parsing involves the application of 2 operations, called adjunction and substitution, to produce derived tree structures. Sequential parsing algorithms for TAGs run in time quadratic in the grammar size, which is impractical for the very large grammars currently being developed for natural language. Two parallel algorithms, one running in time nearly linear in the grammar size and the other running in time logarithmic in the grammar size, are presented. Both parallel algorithms have been implemented on a CM, and performance measurements were obtained for varying grammar sizes. For the range of grammar sizes encountered in real applications, the first parallel algorithm appears to be more suitable for current versions of the CM. The 2nd algorithm is perhaps more suitable for future versions of the CM. |
