Incremental Processing and Acceptability

Incremental Processing and Acceptability

We present a left to right incremental algorithm for the processing of Lambek categorial grammar by proof net construction. A simple metric of complexity, the profile in time of the number of unresolved valencies, correctly predicts a wide variety of performance phenomena: garden pathing, left to right quantifier scope preference, centre embedding unacceptability, preference for lower attachmen...

Incremental Syntactic and Semantic Processing

The construction of the semantic representation for a natural language sentence or a piece of discourse cannot be covered by the so-called "compositional semantics" alone. In the general case, the non-compositional construction steps of generating quantifier scop-ing and of anaphora resolution have to be included. In order to filter out unnecessary information as soon as possible it is desirabl...

Incremental SPARQL Query Processing

The number of linked data sources available on the Web is growing at a rapid rate. Moreover, users are showing an interest for any framework that allows them to obtain answers, for a formulated query, accessing heterogeneous data sources without the need of explicitly specifying the sources to answer the query. Our proposal focus on that interest and its goal is to build a system capable of ans...
