With a given probabilistic grammar, the notion of a prefix or an infix probability of a string was motivated by applications in speech recognition and machine translation. Until recently, the only known solutions allowed to compute the prefix probability with context-free and tree-adjoining grammars. We show that a much wider class of problems allow straightforward solutions by considering intersection with regular languages.
