We want to use GF in order to parse mathematical documents.
Here is an overview of our current approach.
Note that the current implementation is merely a proof of concept and subject to constant change. Issues and discussions can also be found at <https://gl.kwarc.info/smglom/GF/issues>.
The Mathematical Grammatical Framework (MGF)
---
MGF uses [GF](https://www.grammaticalframework.org/) in order to parse mathematical documents.
The project is still at an early stage.
Currently, the translation between English and German is supported for a small number of examples.
Furthermore, the sentences can be formalized in a logical representation.
Preprocessing
Running the Examples
===
Consider the following example sentence:
A number of examples can be found in `examples.gfs`.
You can run them directly with
```
A positive integer $n$ is called prime iff there is no integer $1 < m < n$ such that $m \mid n$.
```bash
cat examples.gfs | gf --run
```
This sentence (written in LaTeX) gets transformed into an html representation using LaTeXML.
We use our LLaMaPUn library to process this html representation and generate a (space-separated) token stream.
The formula representation is based directly on the corresponding presentation-MathML.
For the example sentence, this gives us the following token stream:
Alternatively, you can run them individually/test your own input.
After starting the GF command line, you first need to import the grammars:
```
a positive integer $ mi( n ) $ is called prime iff there is no integer $ mrow( mn( 1 ) mo( < ) mi( m ) mo( < ) mi( n ) ) $ such that $ mrow( mi( m ) mo( | ) mi( n ) ) $```
i src/MgfEng.gf
i src/MgfGer.gf
i src/MgfLog.gf
```
The LLaMaPUn library allows us to map offsets in this string back to the nodes of the HTML representation.
Formula parsing
===
So far, the coverage for parsing formulae is tiny.
As an example,
Note that the German grammar (`MgfGer`) takes quite a while to get linked.
If you don't need it, feel free to skip it.
Afterwards, you can for example translate a sentence from English to German in the following way:
```
mrow( mi( m ) mo( | ) mi( n ) )
parse -lang=Eng "a unital quasigroup is called a loop" | l -lang=Ger
```
matches the rule
A logical representation can be generated with the language `Log`:
```
apply_bin_rel : FBinRelation -> FExpression -> FExpression -> FStatement;
parse -lang=Eng "a unital quasigroup is called a loop" | l -lang=Log
```
The prefix "F" indicates that the categories act on the formula level.
It's also possible to view parse trees with the commands `vt` and `vp`:
A complete formula can be one of the following two categories: A `Statement` or a `MathCN`.
The `Statement` corresponds to a clause (`Cl`). The example above ($m \mid n$) would be an example for that.
A `MathCN` on the other hand corresponds to a noun.
In "A positive integer $n$", the $n$ would be such a `MathCN`.
```
parse -lang=Eng "a unital quasigroup is called a loop" | vt
```
Similarly, in "there is no integer $1 < m < n$", the formula also is a `MathCN`. It matches the rule:
it opens the parse tree with `open`. If this does not work, you can manually
specify a command to open the graphs. E.g. to open it with the
pdf viewer `zathura`, you need to call
```
fexpr_fbinrel_fcid_fbinrel_fexpr_to_mathcn : -- introduces one identifier (like in $1 < n < 10$)
FExpression -> FBinRelation -> FComplexIdentifier -> FBinRelation -> FExpression -> MathCN;
parse -lang=Eng "a unital quasigroup is called a loop" | vt -view=zathura
```
The `MathCN` concept is not good and we need to do more work on declarations (<https://gl.kwarc.info/smglom/GF/issues/2>).
Note that a png file is generated in the case of a single parse tree (which might require a different viewer).
Language/English parsing
Preprocessing
===
The central categories on the language side are: `Statement`, `Definition`, `MObj`.
A `Statement` can be a formula (as described above) or a language statement.
An `MObj` is a "mathematical object", such as an "integer".
Often, identifiers are introduced in an apposition (as in "a positive integer $n$").
This can be done using the following rule:
Consider the following example sentence:
```
appo_mobj : MObj -> MathCN -> MObj;
A positive integer $n$ is called prime, iff there is no integer $1 < m < n$ such that $m \mid n$.
```
As mentioned above, more work is needed on `MathCN`, but also `MObj` and declarations in general (<https://gl.kwarc.info/smglom/GF/issues/2>).
This sentence (written in LaTeX) gets transformed into an html representation using [LaTeXML](https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML).
We use our [LLaMaPUn library](https://github.com/kwarc/llamapun) to process this html representation and generate a (space-separated) token stream.
The formula representation is based directly on the corresponding presentation-MathML.
For the example sentence, this gives us the following token stream:
```
a positive integer $ mi( n ) $ is called prime , iff there is no integer $ mrow( mn( 1 ) mo( < ) mi( m ) mo( < ) mi( n ) ) $ such that $ mrow( mi( m ) mo( | ) mi( n ) ) $
```
The LLaMaPUn library allows us to map offsets in this string back to the nodes of the HTML representation.
