1. Details

• pyCYK is an implementation of the Cocke-Younger-Kasami-Algorithm in Python

• It is used to check if a string is part of a grammar

• The grammar has to be context-free and in the Chomsky normal form

2. How to use pyCYK

2.1 Installation

First, you need to clone or download this repository. After that, open the folder and run this command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2.2 Usage

To use pyCYK in your project, you first need to import it.

from cyk import CYK

Then, you need to define a startstate, the grammar and the word. This is an example for it:

startstate = "S"

grammar = {
    startstate:["VaE","VbF"],
    "G":["GG","a","b","VaVb"],
    "E":["GVa","a"],
    "F":["GVb","b"],
    "Va":["a"],
    "Vb":["b"]
}

word = "abacba"

Next, you need to create an object of the pyCYK class, which includes the startstate and the grammar.

cyk = CYK(grammar, startstate)

To check whether a word is part of the language or not, use this:

cyk.checkWord(word) #Returns True or False

If you want to see the table that is generated as a part of this algorithm, use this:

cyk.outputTable(word)
