| Abstract | Graph and tree transducers have been applied in many NLP areas―among them,machine translation, summarization, parsing, and textgeneration. In particular, the successful use of tree rewriting transducers forthe introduction of syntactic structures in statistical machinetranslation contributed to their popularity. However, the potential of suchtransducers is limited because they do not handle graphsand because they ”consume” the source structure in that they rewrite itinstead of leaving it intact for intermediate consultations. Inthis paper, we describe an open source tree and graph transducer interpreter,which combines the advantages of graph transducers andtwo-tape Finite State Transducers and surpasses the limitations ofstate-of-the-art tree rewriting transducers. Along with the transducer,we present a graph grammar development environment that supports thecompilation and maintenance of graph transducer grammaticaland lexical resources. Such an environment is indispensable for any effort tocreate consistent large coverage NLP-resources by humanexperts. |
