Grammars are gaining importance in natural language processing and
computational biology as a means of encoding theories and
structuring algorithms. But one serious obstacle to applications of
grammars is that formal language theory traditionally classifies
grammars according to their weak generative capacity (what sets of
strings they generate) and tends to ignore strong generative
capacity (what sets of structural descriptions they generate) even
though the latter is more relevant to applications.
This book develops and demonstrates a framework for carrying out
rigorous comparisons of grammar formalisms in terms of their
usefulness for applications, focusing on three areas of
application: statistical parsing, natural language translation, and
biological sequence analysis. These results should pave the way for
theoretical research to pursue results that are more directed
towards applications, and for practical research to explore the use
of advanced grammar formalisms more easily.
