I can probably help if you can narrow things down a bit. Are you parsing deterministic languages (e.g. for programming languages), general context-free languages, binary file formats, or something else?

Because parsing is a field of little active research interest where most of the work happened more than 20 years ago, there are a lot of techniques from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that are relatively unknown.

I'm most interested in deterministic languages. Non-deterministic context-free languages would be extremely interesting as well but more out of curiosity than an applicable need. Thanks!

For deterministic languages, hand written recursive descent is usually the choice even today because of simplicity and ease of error reporting.

There are exceptions, but relatively few production compilers uses anything else, and most of the innovations in parsing provides relatively little value in this space because they tend to be focused on better expressing complex languages rather than provide improved ways of expressing / capturing errors, and it's the latter that would provide most benefit for deterministic languages.
