Abstract

With the development of global networking through Internet, the amount of articles in Chinese or other native languages is increasing rapidly. As the lack of explicit separator, word segmentation is a precondition for the processing of these character-based languages and thus it affects the whole system in performance. In this paper, we propose a new solution for Chinese word segmentation problem based on Lexicon named double-character-and-long-word-hash-indexing (DCLWHI).Compared with traditional lexicon mechanism, DCLWHI improves the speed and efficiency of word segmentation without extra memory spending and gains the same accuracy.
