| 31 | Say cost ( N , C ) is the cost of stepping from a node N to one of its children , C. Since the aim is to find a path , the space which the algorithm explores has nodes consisting of pairs |
| 32 | The input to the algorithm consists of |
| 33 | To do that , at each step , the algorithm constructs a planning sub-task . |
| 34 | When the algorithm begins , nodes are ’ scattered ’ randomly or evenly across a space described by the values of their weights w . |
| 35 | It is given before the algorithm begins . |
| 36 | The algorithm begins with a few small clusters , and it enlarges them and creates new clusters as it is presented with more data . |
| 37 | The algorithm begins : |
| 38 | If the algorithm begins with an empty grammar , then this recorded sequence of ’ top symbols ’ is simply the original input text . ) |
| 39 | The modification to the algorithm assigns values to each element within the transition window , not just to the final element of the transition . |
| 40 | Thus , the algorithm searches a space in which each node is a pair : ( N , LOp ) |
| 41 | The initial choice of strings may be random , but the algorithm works better if some of the ones it starts with are varied but fairly sensible . |
| 42 | The algorithm works by progressively updating a label D[u] assigned to each vertex u until D[u] becomes equal to the shortest path length from s to u . |
| 43 | If all such letters are found , the algorithm checks whether the resulting string is a word ( i.e. the end-of-word flag is set at the tree-node reached by the search ) . |
| 44 | When the algorithm starts with an empty grammar , the only symbols it has are those in the text . |
| 45 | The algorithm includes an extra variable called LR , for ’ Last Rule ’ , which is set to the rule which generated the current state N. |
| 46 | Maybe P and Q and R behave alike , but there may be times when the algorithm folds a set { P , Q , R } where , say , Q sometimes occurs in a context which never contains P or R. The algorithm looks for any context which contains some of X 's children but not the others . |
| 47 | Whenever a new OR symbol X is folded , the algorithm modifies every AND production which contains an alternative for X. In the right hand side of each such production , it replaces every occurrence of P or Q or R or … by X. Thus , the production |
| 48 | For this reason , the algorithm needs to scan backward as well as forward , and therefore takes twice as long as the simple algorithm . |
| 49 | I had acquired his confidence , which I believe I still retain , but for a number of reasons which were quasi-political we drifted apart towards the end of his second premiership , and although we have remained on friendly terms , the intimacy has long vanished . |
| 50 | In his socially approved role as witch-finder , the witch-doctor receives clients , listens carefully to their problems and in the divining sessions points to their probable origin . |
| 51 | In the same fashion , if the witch-doctor offers advice which turns out to be wrong , you write him off as a quack and change your doctor . |
| 52 | That is , if the same grammatical tag is found more than once in a position it is necessary only to know that the tag occurs in that position and the best scores associated with that tag . |
| 53 | The porter fetches it every morning . ’ |
| 54 | The porter says : ‘ Be on your way . |
| 55 | The porter stops a couple of paces on and says , ‘ Paul . ’ |
| 56 | She would be well and truly mystified by the sight of an elderly king who needs to be helped into his chair one minute , but can swing his cane around like a golf stick the next , and even more flummoxed by the depiction of a world in which the porter has closed circuit television , but the method of killing has n't changed a jot . |
| 57 | The porter has a kilt poking out from under his jacket , and Macduff is stuck with wearing a raincoat on top of his dinner suit for the whole show . |
| 58 | When he returns for his payment she shows him another body , claiming the porter has not done the job asked of him . |
| 59 | This third body is disposed of , but as the porter returns he encounters the hunchback husband who he supposes to be the corpse returning yet one more time . |
| 60 | The porter holds the car door as if restraining a very strong , young Galapagos tortoise from doing what it pleases . |
