Papers I read about CGs and FSTs.

Hulden, Mans. Constraint Grammar parsing with left and right sequential finite transducers[1]

The paper behind fomacg. Describes a way of translating most of CG-2's functionality to foma transducers.

  1. Rule application seems to be composition-based, the FSTs are run on the sentence string.
  2. Missing functions:
    • IFF
    • MAPPINGS
    • DELIMITERS (I have implemented it since)
  3. Differences between the paper and the implementation:
    • Conversion to left-and-right transducers is missing from fomacg
  4. No performance tests.

Peltonen, Janne. A Finite State Constraint Grammar Parser[2]

Very similar in vein to Mans's work, but the compiler is implemented in Python, and it doesn't handle LINKed contexts.

  1. Rule application is intersection-based.
  2. No implementation available
  3. "VISL CG-3’s CG-2 compatibility mode is 1 500 times faster."
