Abstract

Parsing context-free grammars is a fundamental problem in natural language processing and computer science more broadly. This seminar will explore a classic text that unifies many algorithms for parsing in one framework.

Objective

Sikkel's notion of parsing schemata is explored in depth. The students should take away an understanding and fluency with these ideas.
