In computer science, top-down parsing is a parsing strategy where one first looks at the highest level of the parse tree and works down the parse tree by using the rewriting rules of a formal grammar. LL parsers are a type of parser that uses a top-down parsing strategy. Top-Down Parsing is based on Left Most Derivation whereas Bottom Up Parsing is dependent on Reverse Right Most Derivation. The process of constructing the parse tree which starts from the root and goes down to the leaf is Top-Down Parsing. Top-Down Parsers constructs from the Grammar which is free from ambiguity and left recursion. Top Down Parsers uses leftmost derivation to construct a parse tree. Review Top-down Parsing Chart Parsing The Earley Algorithm Parsing Parsing with a CFG is the task of assigning a correct tree (or derivation) to a string given some grammar. A correct tree is: I consistent with the grammar, and I the leaves of the tree cover all and only the words in the input. There may be a very large number of correct trees Top-down parsing can be done in two ways with backtracking and without backtracking where leftmost derivation is used. On the other hand, the bottom-up parsing uses a shift-reduce method where the symbol is pushed and then popped from the queue. It employs rightmost derivation. Bottom-up parsing is more powerful than the top-down parsing. •Chart parsing separates: 1.Policy for selecting constituent from agenda; 2.Policy for adding new arcs to chart; 3.Policy for initializing chart and agenda. •Top-down and bottom -up now refer to arc-addition rule. •Initialization rule gives bottom-up aspect in either case. •Polynomial algorithm (θ(n3)), instead of exponential.
Top-down active chart parsing (Earley parser) • Algorithm flow: – (1) Initialize chart and agenda Chart={passive edges for all possible rules for all words}, Agenda={root rules} – (2) Repeat until agenda is empty • (a) Select an edge from agenda in terms of DFS, BFS or best-first search, etc.
one that derives the given string. - Top-Down Parsing. - Bottom-Up Parsing bottom-up storing phrases formed from all substrings in a triangular table (chart). Top-down parsing = start from the start symbol (e.g., S), then systematically try all the possibilities until we find a suitable tree or prove that there isn't one.
