Abstract

The Slot Grammar system is interesting for natural language applications because it can deliver parses with deep grammatical information on a reasonably broad scale. The paper describes a numerical scoring system used in Slot Grammar for ambiguity resolution, which not only ranks parses but also contributes to parsing efficiency through a parse space pruning algorithm. Details of the method of computing parse scores are given, and test results for the English Slot Grammar are presented.
