Because of the "heurisitc factor", the results returned by the parser might not be in strict probability order. To compensate, a sorting pass has been added to find and show the translation with the highest probability among the 10 first translations. However, this means that the translation demo now immediately has to ask for 10 translations of every segment. Before, it initially asked for only one translation of every segment, and then 9 more translations for a segment when/if the user clicked on it. This change can slow down translation noticeably (e.g. from 15s 30s to load an example with fiction in English).
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
