Implementation: only consider expansions which match a previously calculated inside probability i.e., use a chart For example, in a sentence with a VP trying to cover positions 2 through 5 (astronomers [saw stars with ears]): (1) β VP (2, 5) = P(VP VNP)β V (2, 2)β NP (3, 5)+ P(VP VP PP)β VP (2, 3)β PP (4, 5) Inside Inside-
