Re: [XLE] Question: generating from s-structures

Hi,

The XLE generator uses the PRED value to index the lexicon for performance reasons. In order to generate from the s:: projection, XLE would need to be changed so that another attribute could be given as the attribute to index the lexicon by. Otherwise, the generator would use a generate-and-test approach, where it would consider every lexical entry in the lexicon as a candidate for each f-structure. This would be unacceptably slow.

Sorry,

John
