CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The probabilistic parser which we have described provides a platibrm for exploiting the useful ini:brmation made available by statistical models in a manner which is consistent with existing grammar fbrmalisms and parser designs. &amp;quot;Pearl can be trained to use any context-f~ee grammar, accompanied by the appropriate training material. And, the parsing algorithm is very similar to a standard bottom-up algorithm, with the exception of using theory scores to order the search.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In experiments on the Voyager direction-finding domain, ~earl, using only a context-i~ee grammar and statistical models, perfbrmed at least as well as PUNDIT'S parser, which includes hand-generated restrictions. In the ihture, we hope to demonstrate similar peribrmance on more difficult domains and using manually parsed corpora.</Paragraph>
