MISON is getting popular

Last week, I was working on a presentation about my research as a graduate student. To this end, I had to summarize details and compile a number of slides. At some point, I arrived at the part of the presentation where I would present MISON, which is the parsing algorithm that Yinan and I invented during my internship at Microsoft Research.

I did not remember a small detail in the experimentation and since I did not have a hard copy handy, I searched online for the paper. To my surprise, I found out that MISON got some attention from the community. In fact, it has made its way in Hacker News and it received more than 100 points! On top of that, a person named Keiji Yoshida has developed it in Rust, under the name pikkr. Furthermore, Keiji conducted a number of experiments, which indicate that the performance improvement can be significant compared to tokenization-based parsers.
