Coarse-To-Fine Parsing for Expressive Grammar Formalisms

Christoph Teichmann, Alexander Koller, Jonas Groschwitz


Abstract
We generalize coarse-to-fine parsing to grammar formalisms that are more expressive than PCFGs and/or describe languages of trees or graphs. We evaluate our algorithm on PCFG, PTAG, and graph parsing. While we achieve the expected performance gains on PCFGs, coarse-to-fine does not help for PTAG and can even slow down parsing for graphs. We discuss the implications of this finding.
