Zusammenfassung
The fastest parsers currently can parse an average sentence in up to
2.5ms, a considerable improvement, since most of the older accuracy-oriented
parsers parse only few sentences per second. It is generally accepted that the
complexity of a parsing algorithm is decisive for the performance of a parser.
However, we show that the most time consuming part of processing is feature
extraction and therefore an algorithm which allows efficient feature extraction
can outperform a less complex algorithm which does not. Our system based on
quadratic Covington's parsing strategy with efficient feature extraction is able to
parse an average English sentence in only 0.8ms without any parallelisation.
