Summary

WFSTs provide storage of intermediate results.

Charts are WFSTs that store results and hypotheses.

A chart is a set of annotated arcs called 'edges'.

An inactive edge is a result.

An active edge is a hypothesis about structure.

Initialization sets a chart up with inactive edges for each word.

Chart parsers are driven by the fundamental rule.

Charts are neutral with respect to parsing and search strategy.
