CYK algorithm
The CYK (Cocke-Younger-Kasami) algorithm is a method used in computational linguistics and computer science to determine if a string of words or symbols can be generated by a specific type of grammar called a context-free grammar. It works by breaking down the string into smaller parts and checking if these parts can be formed by rules of the grammar. By systematically building up from smaller segments to the whole string, the algorithm efficiently verifies whether the entire string belongs to the language defined by the grammar, enabling tasks like parsing and syntax analysis.
