[mercury-users] natural language parsing with Mercury

[James Cussens]

Has anyone used Mercury to implement a (chart) parser for natural
language grammars? I've been doing some work which involves a Prolog
chart parser for a unification grammar that makes heavy use of
partially instantiated data structures (edges, in fact), and also, of
course, assert/1 to add things to the chart.

I'm thinking of setting this as a student project, since it is doable
but non-trivial. I'd be interested to see if anyone else has used
Mercury for NLP and whether it worked out compared to Prolog.
