5.2 Projective Parsing

  1. How does the projective list-based parser differ from the non-projective one?
    It skips any pair that could create a non-projective arc: LEFT-ARC deletes the dependent and empties \(\lambda_2\); RIGHT-ARC moves \(j\) onto \(\lambda_1\) and empties \(\lambda_2\); NO-ARC requires that \(i\) already has a head, since an arc spanning a root would violate projectivity. Worst case \(O(n^2)\), but in practice it behaves linearly.
