AN ALGORITHM FOR THE SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS IN THE R2 INFORMATION SYSTEM,
Abstract
The paper presents a pure syntax parsing algorithm for the R2 question answering system. The parsing is a necessary part in the processing of information for the retrieval of answers by giving the syntactic structure of both questions and statements of fact. The syntactic analysis is performed on individual statements by using grammatical rules and various grammatical transformation. The parser has been implemented in LISP 1.5 on an IBM 360/75 computer. Experimental results from the system include examples of the analysis of some compound and a complex sentences, as well as simple sentences. (Author)
