Abstract

A robust parser for context-free grammars, based on a dynamic programming architecture, is described. We integrate a regional error repair algorithm and a strategy to deal with incomplete sentences including unknown parts of unknown length. Experimental tests prove the validity of the approach, illustrating the perspectives for its application in real systems over a variety of different situations, as well as the causes underlying the computational behavior observed.

Research partially supported by the Spanish Government under projects TIC2000- 0370-C02-01 and HP2002-0081, and the Autonomous Government of Galicia under projects PGIDT01PXI10506PN, PGIDIT02PXIB30501PR and PGIDIT02SIN01E.
