Implementation of the CKY (Cocke-Kasami-Younger) algorithm
pip install -r requirements.txt
python recognizer.py <grammar file> <sentence> [--tree]
This code file contains the functions to parse the grammar file. The expected grammar is a CNF (Chomsky Normal Form) grammar. That kind of grammar only have rules of the form:
A -> B C
A -> a
where A, B, C are non terminal symbols and a are terminal symbols. Note that all CFG (Context Free Grammar) can be convert in a CNF.
An example of grammar file is:
S
S -> NP VP
VP -> VP PP | V NP | eats
PP -> P NP
NP -> DET N | she
V -> eats
P -> with
N -> fish | fork
DET -> a
Note: the first line must be indicate a list of root symbols.
It is the cky implementation and the tree parser generator. The principal function cky have the follow required parameters:
- Roots: list of root non terminal symbols
- NT: list of non terminal symbols of the grammar
- T: list of terminal symbols of the grammar
- GT: list of terminal rules of type: A -> a
- GNT: list of non therminal rules of type: A -> B C
- words: list of words that form part of sentence to recognize/analyze
The parameter Roots, NT, T, GT, GNT are all genereted by the parse_cnf function.
Additionally, the function cky can receive two optional parameters show_table and gettree to display the generated cky table and the tree parsers.
It is the command line to invoke the above cky function and described in the usage section of this document.
Three toy grammars to test this implementation.
That are some execution samples of this work:
An grammar to recognize the language defines by the regular expresion a+b+ (a list of a's follow a list of b's):
$ python recognize.py G1.g 'a a a a a b' --tree
a a a a a b
2 A A A A A B
3 A A A A S .
4 A A A A,S . .
5 A A A,S . . .
6 A A,S . . . .
7 A,S . . . . .
Tree

│ └── A
│ ├── A (a)
│ └── A
│ ├── A (a)
│ └── A
│ ├── A (a)
│ └── A (a)
└── B (b)
a a a a a b is member of the language
An typical example in grammar recognition:
$ python recognize.py G2.g 'she eats a fish with a fork' --tree
she eats a fish with a fork
2 NP VP,V DET N P DET N
3 S . NP . . NP .
4 . VP . . PP . .
5 S . . . . . .
6 . . . . . . .
7 . VP . . . . .
8 S . . . . . .
Tree

└── VP
├── VP
│ ├── V (eats)
│ └── NP
│ ├── DET (a)
│ └── N (fish)
└── PP
├── P (with)
└── NP
├── DET (a)
└── N (fork)
she eats a fish with a fork is member of the language
In the last example is used an ambiguety grammar and show two tree parsers to recognize the sentence 'a + a - a':
$ python recognize.py G3.g 'a + a - a' --tree
a + a - a
2 A OP A OP A
3 . R . R .
4 A . A . .
5 . R . . .
6 A . . . .
