I’ve been reading Dick Grune’s Parsing techniques 1st edition for quite a while now, the book is from the mid-90’s and the author argues that no such parsing method (Linear-time general parsing) has been discovered until the date.
“we should like to have a linear-time general parsing method.
Unfortunately no such method has been discovered to date.” pg 76
Has anyone developed such method?
No such method has been devised. As far as I can tell, the CYK algorithm remains the general parsing algorithm with the best worst case performance (O(n3)).
