Followup on Diabetic Suspects

Spotting Overgeneration Suspects

We present a method for quickly spotting overgeneration suspects (i.e., likely cause of overgeneration) in hand-coded grammars. The method is applied to a medium size Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) for French and is shown to help reduce the number of outputs by 70% almost all of it being overgeneration.

Rittershaus and colleagues demonstrate that the cell surface glycosphingolipid GlcCer is essential for the fungus to grow in the extracellular environments of the host bloodstream and alveolar spaces of...
