Efficient Head Corner Parsing

The material that I used for my article in Computational Linguistics, entitled `An Efficient Implementation of the Head Corner Parser' is available for download here.

• The paper itself is available in electronic format:

  Gertjan van Noord. An Efficient Implementation of the Head-Corner Parser. Computational Linguistics, volume 23, number 3, 1997. [html, postscript, dvi, cmp-lg ]

• If you are interested only in the Alvey NL Tools grammar in DCG format, then use alvey_dcg.tar.gz. These files were supplied by John Carroll, johnca@cogs.susx.ac.uk, and are derived from a version of the ALVEY Natural Language Tools. Current information about these ALVEY NL Tools is available at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/NL/anlt.html.

• If you are interested only in running the head-corner parser on the Alvey NL Tools grammar, then you are referred to the Hdrug homepage. Hdrug is an environment for the development of logic grammars and related parsers and generators. The Alvey NL Tools grammar with a number of parsers is one of the example applications shipped with Hdrug. Here is a screen dump.

• The gzipped tar file containing the sources for the experiments with both the Alvey NL Tools grammar and the English MiMo2 grammar reported on in the CL article (about 645K).
