The approach taken is to integrate the parser with the rest of the system. This enables the parser to benefit from predictions that the rest of the system makes in the course of its processing. A program, called FRUMP for Fast Reading Understanding and Memory Program, employs this approach to parsing. FRUMP skims articles rather than reading them for detail. The program works on the relatively unconstrained domain of news articles. It routinely understands stories it has never before seen.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/49","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/0049.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/49.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/bibtex/49","volume":{"slug":"1979","title":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1979","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/","year":1979,"location":"Tokyo, Japan","dates":"August 20-23, 1979","editors":"Bruce G.
