Using generation for grammar analysis and error detection

We demonstrate that the bidirectionality of deep grammars, allowing them to generate as well as parse sentences, can be used to automatically and effectively identify errors in the grammars. The system is tested on two implemented HPSG grammars: Jacy for Japanese, and the ERG for English. Using this...
