In this paper, lmrsing-as-deduction and constraint programming are brought together to outline a procedure for the speeitication of constraint-based chart parsers. Fob lowing the proposal in Shieber et al. (1995), we show how to directly realize tim inference rules tbr deductive parsers as Constraint Handling Rules (Fr{ihwirlh, 1998) by viewing lhe items of a chart parser its constraints and lhe constraint base as a charl. This allows the direct use of constraint resolution to parse sentences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
