In practice, this is difficult to achieve, and so multiple parses are listed. These are always ranked from most to least likely, and have an associated "cost." It is convenient to think of the "cost" as (minus) the logarithm of the probability: the higher the cost, the less likely that parse is correct. Usually, the first parse is correct. If it is not, please report that as a bug. Sometimes, the first few parses have an identical cost; these are then sorted according to the total length of the links. If this is the same, then which one is printed first is random. -- Linas -- Patrick: Are they laughing at us?
