"abstract": "This paper proposes a lexicon-constrained character model that combines both word and character features to solve complicated issues in Chinese morphological analysis. A Chinese character-based model constrained by a lexicon is built to acquire word building rules. Each character in a Chinese sentence is assigned a tag by the proposed model. The word segmentation and partof-speech tagging results are then generated based on the character tags. The proposed method solves such problems as unknown word identification, data sparseness, and estimation bias in an integrated, unified framework. Preliminary experiments indicate that the proposed method outperforms the best SIGHAN word segmentation systems in the open track on 3 out of the 4 test corpora. Additionally, our method can be conveniently integrated with any other Chinese morphological systems as a post-processing module leading to significant improvement in performance.",

"text": "In general, a simple word-based approach can achieve about 90% accuracy for segmentation with a medium-size dictionary. However, since no dictionary includes every Chinese word, the unknown word (or Out Of Vocabulary, OOV) problem [9] , [10] can severely affect the performance of word-based approaches. Furthermore, word-based models have an estimation bias when faced with segmentation candidates with different numbers of words. For , is related to the number of the words in the segmentation candidates. As such, a candidate with fewer words is preferred over those with more words in the selection process. Therefore, most wordbased models are likely to fail when a combinational ambiguity 1 sequence is separated into multiple words.",

"text": "Compared with Chinese words, Chinese characters are relatively less unambiguous. The Chinese character set is very limited. Therefore, unknown characters occur rarely in a sentence. The grammatical advantages of characters have inspired researchers to adopt character features in Chinese morphology and parsing [5] , [6] , [11] , [12] . However, it is difficult to incorporate necessary word features, such as the form of a Chinese word and its fixed part-of-speech tags, in most character-based approaches. For this reason, character-based approaches have not achieved satisfactory performance in large-scale open tests.",

We explore how to capture the Chinese word building rules using a statistical method, which reflects the regularities in the word formation process. First, a character hidden Markov method assigns the candidate tags to each character. Next, a large-size word list combined with linguistic information is used to filter out erroneous candidates. Finally, segmentation and part-of-speech tagging for the sentence are provided based on the character tags.",

We notice that word-based approaches and character-based approaches have similar precision on unknown word identification, however wordbased approaches have much lower recall than character-based ones. The main reason for this is that word-based systems focus only on unknown words with proper word structures, but cannot recognize newly generated words, rare words, and other new words unlisted in the dictionary. A very high proportion of these types of unknown word in the SIGHAN testing data affects the recall of the word-based methods on unknown words.

Although the character tags proposed in this paper are essentially similar to some of the previous work mentioned above, here our focus is to integrate various word features with the characterbased model in such a way that the probability of the model is undistorted. The proposed model is effective in acquiring word building rules. To our knowledge, our work is the first character-based approach, which outperforms the word-based approaches for SIGHAN open test.

Other statistical models, such as maximum entropy, boosting, support vector machine, etc., may also be suitable for this application. They are worth investigating. The data sparseness problem is practically non-existent in the character-based model for the Chinese character set is limited. However, odd characters are occasionally found in Chinese personal or place names. Some rules using named entity identification technique may help smoothen this. In a broader view, the word building rules proposed in our model is simple enough for linguistic studies to better understand for example formation of Chinese words or even the Chinese language itself.",
