Unit tests for the Context Free Grammar class
---------------------------------------------

    >>> import pickle
    >>> import subprocess
    >>> import sys
    >>> from nltk import Nonterminal, nonterminals, Production, CFG

    >>> nt1 = Nonterminal('NP')
    >>> nt2 = Nonterminal('VP')

    >>> nt1.symbol()
    'NP'

    >>> nt1 == Nonterminal('NP')
    True

    >>> nt1 == nt2
    False

    >>> S, NP, VP, PP = nonterminals('S, NP, VP, PP')
    >>> N, V, P, DT = nonterminals('N, V, P, DT')

    >>> prod1 = Production(S, [NP, VP])
    >>> prod2 = Production(NP, [DT, NP])

    >>> prod1.lhs()
    S

    >>> prod1.rhs()
    (NP, VP)

    >>> prod1 == Production(S, [NP, VP])
    True

    >>> prod1 == prod2
    False

    >>> grammar = CFG.fromstring("""
    ... S -> NP VP
    ... PP -> P NP

    >>> print(hash(p1) == hash(p2))
    True

Unit tests for the rd (Recursive Descent Parser) class
------------------------------------------------------

Create and run a recursive descent parser over both a syntactically ambiguous
and unambiguous sentence.

    >>> from nltk.parse import RecursiveDescentParser
    >>> rd = RecursiveDescentParser(grammar)

    >>> sentence1 = 'the cat chased the dog'.split()
    >>> sentence2 = 'the cat chased the dog on the rug'.split()

    >>> for t in rd.parse(sentence1):
    ...     print(t)
    (S (NP the (N cat)) (VP (V chased) (NP the (N dog))))

    >>> for t in rd.parse(sentence2):
    ...     print(t)
    (S
      (NP the (N cat))
      (VP (V chased) (NP the (N dog) (PP (P on) (NP the (N rug))))))
    (S
      (NP the (N cat))
      (VP (V chased) (NP the (N dog)) (PP (P on) (NP the (N rug)))))


(dolist (expr doctest-font-lock-keywords)
  (add-to-list 'font-lock-keywords expr))

  font-lock-keywords
(add-to-list 'font-lock-keywords
  (car doctest-font-lock-keywords))


Unit tests for the sr (Shift Reduce Parser) class
-------------------------------------------------

Create and run a shift reduce parser over both a syntactically ambiguous
and unambiguous sentence. Note that unlike the recursive descent parser, one
and only one parse is ever returned.

    >>> from nltk.parse import ShiftReduceParser
    >>> sr = ShiftReduceParser(grammar)

    >>> sentence1 = 'the cat chased the dog'.split()
    >>> sentence2 = 'the cat chased the dog on the rug'.split()

    >>> for t in sr.parse(sentence1):
    ...     print(t)
    (S (NP the (N cat)) (VP (V chased) (NP the (N dog))))


The shift reduce parser uses heuristics to decide what to do when there are
multiple possible shift or reduce operations available - for the supplied
grammar clearly the wrong operation is selected.

    >>> for t in sr.parse(sentence2):
    ...     print(t)


Unit tests for the Chart Parser class
-------------------------------------

We use the demo() function for testing.
We must turn off showing of times.

    >>> import nltk

First we test tracing with a short sentence

Unit tests for LARGE context-free grammars
------------------------------------------

Reading the ATIS grammar.

    >>> grammar = nltk.data.load('grammars/large_grammars/atis.cfg')
    >>> grammar
    <Grammar with 5517 productions>

Reading the test sentences.

    >>> sentences = nltk.data.load('grammars/large_grammars/atis_sentences.txt')
    >>> sentences = nltk.parse.util.extract_test_sentences(sentences)
    >>> len(sentences)
    98
    >>> testsentence = sentences[22]
    >>> testsentence[0]
    ['show', 'me', 'northwest', 'flights', 'to', 'detroit', '.']
    >>> testsentence[1]
    17
    >>> sentence = testsentence[0]

Now we test all different parsing strategies.
Note that the number of edges differ between the strategies.

Bottom-up parsing.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.BottomUpChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    7661
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Bottom-up Left-corner parsing.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.BottomUpLeftCornerChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    4986
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Left-corner parsing with bottom-up filter.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.LeftCornerChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    1342
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Top-down parsing.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.TopDownChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    28352
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Incremental Bottom-up parsing.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.IncrementalBottomUpChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    7661
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Incremental Bottom-up Left-corner parsing.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.IncrementalBottomUpLeftCornerChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    4986
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Incremental Left-corner parsing with bottom-up filter.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.IncrementalLeftCornerChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    1342
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Incremental Top-down parsing.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.IncrementalTopDownChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    28352
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Earley parsing. This is similar to the incremental top-down algorithm.

    >>> parser = nltk.parse.EarleyChartParser(grammar)
    >>> chart = parser.chart_parse(sentence)
    >>> print((chart.num_edges()))
    28352
    >>> print((len(list(chart.parses(grammar.start())))))
    17

Unit tests for the Feature Chart Parser classes
-----------------------------------------------

The list of parsers we want to test.

    >>> parsers = [nltk.parse.featurechart.FeatureChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.featurechart.FeatureTopDownChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.featurechart.FeatureBottomUpChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.featurechart.FeatureBottomUpLeftCornerChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.earleychart.FeatureIncrementalChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.earleychart.FeatureEarleyChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.earleychart.FeatureIncrementalTopDownChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.earleychart.FeatureIncrementalBottomUpChartParser,
    ...            nltk.parse.earleychart.FeatureIncrementalBottomUpLeftCornerChartParser,
    ...            ]

A helper function that tests each parser on the given grammar and sentence.
We check that the number of trees are correct, and that all parsers
return the same trees. Otherwise an error is printed.

    >>> def unittest(grammar, sentence, nr_trees):
    ...     sentence = sentence.split()
    ...     trees = None
    ...     for P in parsers:
    ...         result = P(grammar).parse(sentence)
    ...         result = set(tree.freeze() for tree in result)
    ...         if len(result) != nr_trees:
    ...             print("Wrong nr of trees:", len(result))
    ...         elif trees is None:
    ...             trees = result
    ...         elif result != trees:
    ...             print("Trees differ for parser:", P.__name__)

The demo grammar from before, with an ambiguous sentence.

    >>> isawjohn = nltk.parse.featurechart.demo_grammar()
    >>> unittest(isawjohn, "I saw John with a dog with my cookie", 5)

This grammar tests that variables in different grammar rules are renamed
before unification. (The problematic variable is in this case ?X).

    >>> whatwasthat = nltk.grammar.FeatureGrammar.fromstring('''
    ... S[] -> NP[num=?N] VP[num=?N, slash=?X]
    ... NP[num=?X] -> "what"
    ... NP[num=?X] -> "that"
    ... VP[num=?P, slash=none] -> V[num=?P] NP[]
    ... V[num=sg] -> "was"
    ... ''')
    >>> unittest(whatwasthat, "what was that", 1)

This grammar tests that the same rule can be used in different places
in another rule, and that the variables are properly renamed.

    >>> thislovesthat = nltk.grammar.FeatureGrammar.fromstring('''
    ... S[] -> NP[case=nom] V[] NP[case=acc]
    ... NP[case=?X] -> Pron[case=?X]
    ... Pron[] -> "this"
    ... Pron[] -> "that"
    ... V[] -> "loves"
    ... ''')
    >>> unittest(thislovesthat, "this loves that", 1)


Tests for loading feature grammar files
---------------------------------------

Alternative 1: first load the grammar, then create the parser.

    >>> fcfg = nltk.data.load('grammars/book_grammars/feat0.fcfg')
    >>> fcp1 = nltk.parse.FeatureChartParser(fcfg)
    >>> print((type(fcp1)))
    <class 'nltk.parse.featurechart.FeatureChartParser'>

Alternative 2: directly load the parser.

    >>> fcp2 = nltk.parse.load_parser('grammars/book_grammars/feat0.fcfg')
    >>> print((type(fcp2)))
    <class 'nltk.parse.featurechart.FeatureChartParser'>
