Memoization of Top Down Parsing

cmp-lg 2008-02-03 v1 Computation and Language

Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between memoized top-down recognizers and chart parsers. It presents a version of memoization suitable for continuation-passing style programs. When applied to a simple formalization of a top-down recognizer it yields a terminating parser.
