Assignment 7 CFL Parsing

CS 5000: Theory of Computability Assignment 7 CFL Parsing with Cocke-Younger-Kasami and Earley Algorithms
1 Learning Objectives 1. Chomsky Normal Form 2. Cocke-Younger-Kasami Algorithm 3. Earley Algorithm 4. Dynamic Programming 5. CFG Parsing Introduction This assignment has 2 problems. The first is on CYK. The scond one is on the Earley algorithm. In the first problem, you have to write some Python/JAVA code. In the second problem, you have to write a grammar for my JAVA implementation of the Earley algorithm. My apologies to the Py fans in this class. I don’t have a Py implementation of this algorithm. If you feel up to it, you can implement the Early algorithm in Python for Problem 2. Problem 1 (3 points) Convert this grammar into CNF and implement the CYK algorithm to process strings with it. Your implementation of CYK.py or CYK.java should contain the boolean method isInCFL(x), where x is a string. When x is in the language of the CNF grammar, the method returns true, else - false. 1. S → ABC 2. C → BaB|c 3. B → b|bb 4. A → a Below are a few tests you can run to test your implementation. Implement these unit tests in your code. You may want to turn them into the methods unit_test_1, unit_test_2, unit_test_3, unit_test_4, and unit_test_5. Input string: abc Result = true Input string: abbbabb Result = true Input string: abbc Result = true Input string: bbc Result = false Input string: aaabb Result = false 1 Problem 2 (2 points) Consider a drone flying over a grid of landmarks, e.g., A, B, C, etc. Suppose that our job is to design an natural language (NL) interface to the drone. Write 10 or so commands that a human operator, e.g., a search and rescue worker or a forest fire fighter, may want to ask of the drone. Here are some examples: • Which landmark are you over? • Fly to A/B/C/D. What is your altitude? • Could you fly higher? • Fly higher/lower. • Can you see A? Can you see B? Write a CFG grammar for the list of your commands and run the Earley Parser (EP) to parse your inputs and display the trees. My JAVA implementation of the EP is at https://github.com/VKEDCO/EarlyParser.

This repo contains a few sample grammars. For example, flight_grammar.txt contains the grammar parts of which we analyzed in class. The file ambiguous_grammar.txt contains the formal grammar of arithmetic expressions we also analyzed in class. The format of the grammar is pretty simple. The start symbol of the grammar is included inside the tags and . The variable symbols, one symbol per line, are placed inside and . The terminal symbols, one symbol per line, are placed inside and . Finally, the productions, in BNF form, one production per line, are placed insideand

. The class Parser.java contains several examples of how you can read the grammar from a text file and then parse a string with it. For example, static void parse_example_01() { System.err.println("======== parse_example_01 ==========="); String gfPath = "sample_grammar.txt"; Parser epr = Parser.factory(gfPath, 3); ArrayList ptrees = epr.parse("book that flight"); epr.displayChart(); epr.displayParseTrees(ptrees); } The first argument to the static method Parse.factory is a file path while the second argument is the number of wordforms in the input. Since we are parsing “book that flight”, the number of wordforms is 3. Save your CFG in drone_cfg.txt and save the parse trees dislayed by the EP in my_parse_trees.txt. What to Submit? Submit your implementation of CYK.java/py, drone_cfg.txt, and my_parse_trees.txt via Canvas. 2
