A Tractable Extension of Linear Indexed Grammars
It has been shown that Linear Indexed Grammars can be processed in polynomial
time by exploiting constraints which make possible the extensive use of
structure-sharing. This paper describes a formalism that is more powerful than
Linear Indexed Grammar, but which can also be processed in polynomial time
using similar techniques. The formalism, which we refer to as Partially Linear
PATR manipulates feature structures rather than stacks.Comment: 8 pages LaTeX, uses eaclap.sty, to appear in EACL-9
Computer-aided System of Semantic Text Analysis of a Technical Specification
The given work is devoted to development of the computer-aided system of semantic text analysis of a
technical specification. The purpose of this work is to increase efficiency of software engineering based on
automation of semantic text analysis of a technical specification. In work it is offered and investigated the model
of the analysis of the text of the technical project is submitted, the attribute grammar of a technical specification,
intended for formalization of limited Russian is constructed with the purpose of analysis of offers of text of a
technical specification, style features of the technical project as class of documents are considered,
recommendations on preparation of text of a technical specification for the automated processing are formulated.
The computer-aided system of semantic text analysis of a technical specification is considered. This system
consists of the following subsystems: preliminary text processing, the syntactic and semantic analysis and
construction of software models, storage of documents and interface

On Infinite Words Determined by Indexed Languages
We characterize the infinite words determined by indexed languages. An
infinite language determines an infinite word if every string in
is a prefix of . If is regular or context-free, it is known
that must be ultimately periodic. We show that if is an indexed
language, then is a morphic word, i.e., can be generated by
iterating a morphism under a coding. Since the other direction, that every
morphic word is determined by some indexed language, also holds, this implies
that the infinite words determined by indexed languages are exactly the morphic
words. To obtain this result, we prove a new pumping lemma for the indexed
languages, which may be of independent interest.Comment: Full version of paper accepted for publication at MFCS 201
A compositional DRS-based formalism for NLP applications
This paper describes and discusses the formalism which forms the backbone of semantic processing in the Verbmobil spoken dialogue translation project. In the first part, the theoretical core of the formalism is presented: lambda-DRT, a compositional version of Discourse Representation Theory. The main part describes the implementation of lambda-DRT, as a worked out semantic representation language for the Verbmobil project, which is designed to meet the special requirements of the application. Finally, we discuss future extensions and modications of the formalism

Calibrating Generative Models: The Probabilistic Chomsky-Schützenberger Hierarchy
A probabilistic Chomsky–Schützenberger hierarchy of grammars is introduced and studied, with the aim of understanding the expressive power of generative models. We offer characterizations of the distributions definable at each level of the hierarchy, including probabilistic regular, context-free, (linear) indexed, context-sensitive, and unrestricted grammars, each corresponding to familiar probabilistic machine classes. Special attention is given to distributions on (unary notations for) positive integers. Unlike in the classical case where the "semi-linear" languages all collapse into the regular languages, using analytic tools adapted from the classical setting we show there is no collapse in the probabilistic hierarchy: more distributions become definable at each level. We also address related issues such as closure under probabilistic conditioning
The Verbmobil semantic formalism (Version 1.3)
This report describes the semantic formalism developed at Saarbrücken University as part of the Verbmobil project. The formalism is based upon DRT with additional functionality to meet the requirements on semantic construction arising from spoken dialogue translation. We define the syntax of the formalism and illustrate the semantic composition process in detail
