Multi-Component Tree Insertion Grammars

چکیده
In this paper we introduce a new mildly context sensitive formalism called Multi-Component Tree Insertion Grammar. This formalism is a generalization of Tree Insertion Grammars in the same sense that Multi-Component Tree Adjoining Grammars is a generalization of Tree Adjoining Grammars. We show that this class of grammatical formalisms is equivalent to Multi-Component Tree Adjoining Grammars, and that it also defines a hierarchy of languages whose supplementary formal power between two increasing levels is more gently delivered than the one given by Multi-Component Tree Adjoining Grammars. We suspect that this increase of accuracy may be used to find the right amount of formal power needed for such and such linguistic description. We show that Multi-Component Tree Insertion Grammars and simple Range Concatenation Grammars are equivalent and we show how to transform a grammar of one type into an equivalent grammar of the other type. Such a transformation gives a method to build efficient parsers for MultiComponent Tree Insertion Languages.

A Decoder for Probabilistic Synchronous Tree Insertion Grammars
Synchronous tree insertion grammars (STIG) are formal models for syntaxbased machine translation. We formalize a decoder for probabilistic STIG; the decoder transforms every source-language string into a target-language tree and calculates the probability of this transformation.
متن کاملMultiple Context-Free Tree Grammars and Multi-component Tree Adjoining Grammars
Strong lexicalization is the process of turning a grammar generating trees into an equivalent one, in which all rules contain a terminal leaf. It is known that tree adjoining grammars cannot be strongly lexicalized, whereas the more powerful simple context-free tree grammars can. It is demonstrated that multiple simple context-free tree grammars are as expressive as multi-component tree adjoini...
متن کاملParsing Tree Adjoining Grammars and Tree Insertion Grammars with Simultaneous Adjunctions
A large part of wide coverage Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG) is formed by trees that satisfy the restrictions imposed by Tree Insertion Grammars (TIG). This characteristic can be used to reduce the practical complexity of TAG parsing, applying the standard adjunction operation only in those cases in which the simpler cubic-time TIG adjunction cannot be applied. In this paper, we describe a parsi...
متن کاملAlternating Regular Tree Grammars in the Framework of Lattice-Valued Logic
In this paper, two different ways of introducing alternation for lattice-valued (referred to as {L}valued) regular tree grammars and {L}valued top-down tree automata are compared. One is the way which defines the alternating regular tree grammar, i.e., alternation is governed by the non-terminals of the grammar and the other is the way which combines state with alternation. The first way is ta...
متن کاملTree Insertion Systems
We define tree insertion systems which generates trees. The generative power is compared with the traditional generating and accepting devices for trees. Methods for conversion of tree insertion system to regular tree grammar and finite state bottom-up tree automata to tree insertion system are expalined with suitable examples. An outline of proof by induction for the equivalence of tree insert...
