Yehle, Tobin | Memoized parsing with derivatives | Due to the computational complexity of parsing, constituent parsing is not preferred for tasks involving large corpora. However, the high similarity between sentences in natural language suggests that it is not necessary to pay the full computational price for each new sentence. In this work we p... | Parsing (Computer grammar) | 2016-04 |
