Parsing factorized.
Description
The library implements an Earley-style, bottom-up parser for tree adjoining grammars (TAGs) with special focus on structure (and, hence, computation) sharing.
Two particular flavours of structure sharing are currently implemented:
Subtrees common to different elementary trees are shared amongst them. The input TAG, which can be seen as a set of elementary (initial and auxiliary) grammar trees, is in fact transformed into an equivalent DAG.
Flat production grammar rules representing the individual parts of the DAG are then compressed in the form of a minimal FSA. Other forms of compression are also provided by the library (e.g. prefix tree).
