Embedded pushdown automaton

• abstract: An embedded pushdown automaton or EPDA is a computational model for parsing languages generated by tree-adjoining grammars (TAGs). It is similar to the context-free grammar-parsing pushdown automaton, except that instead of using a plain stack to store symbols, it has a stack of iterated stacks that store symbols, giving TAGs a generative capacity between context-free grammars and context-sensitive grammars, or a subset of the mildly context-sensitive grammars.
