A Best-First Parser
The parser uses a best-first strategy in which alternative paths are assigned priorities and paths are suspended as long as there is a higher priority alternative to explore.

Performance Grammars
Evidence is offered that linguistic competence cannot in principle be divorced from linguistic performance in order to abstract universal properties of grammars, that rules of grammar inevitably incorporate perceptual strategies…

SRI Speech Understanding System
The system is distinctive in the way that knowledge of various sources is coordinated by a "best-first" parser to predict the sequence of words in an utterance, and in the…
