nltk.parse.IncrementalTopDownChartParser¶
- class nltk.parse.IncrementalTopDownChartParser[source]¶
Bases:
IncrementalChartParser
- __init__(grammar, **parser_args)[source]¶
Create a new Earley chart parser, that uses
grammar
to parse texts.- Parameters
grammar (CFG) – The grammar used to parse texts.
trace (int) – The level of tracing that should be used when parsing a text.
0
will generate no tracing output; and higher numbers will produce more verbose tracing output.trace_chart_width (int) – The default total width reserved for the chart in trace output. The remainder of each line will be used to display edges.
chart_class – The class that should be used to create the charts used by this parser.
- chart_parse(tokens, trace=None)¶
Return the final parse
Chart
from which all possible parse trees can be extracted.- Parameters
tokens (list(str)) – The sentence to be parsed
- Return type
- grammar()¶
- Returns
The grammar used by this parser.
- parse(tokens, tree_class=<class 'nltk.tree.tree.Tree'>)¶
- Returns
An iterator that generates parse trees for the sentence. When possible this list is sorted from most likely to least likely.
- Parameters
sent (list(str)) – The sentence to be parsed
- Return type
iter(Tree)
- parse_sents(sents, *args, **kwargs)¶
Apply
self.parse()
to each element ofsents
. :rtype: iter(iter(Tree))
