Towards Natural Language Explanations of Constraint Grammar Rules

Daniel Swanson


Abstract
This paper presents a general-purpose parser for static analysis of Constraint Grammar rules (that is, examining only the rules, not potential inputs and outputs) and applies it to the task of translating rules into comprehensible explanations of behavior. An interactive interface for exploring how individual components of each rule contribute to these translations is also presented.
