Incorporating Multi-granularity Linguistic Units in Character-based Word Segmentation

Year: 2023
Type: dissertation
Abstract: A character sequence tends to comprise segmentation alternatives, leading to segmentation ambiguity.Properly handling this ambiguity using multi-granularity linguistic units, such as character clusters, subwords, and words, can improve word segmentation performance and lessen ambiguous boundary decisions.We conduct a study to investigate the potential of using various linguistic units and leveraging segmentation alternatives for character-based word segmentation.Our experimental results demonstrated improvements in segmentation performance, outperforming previous work on the BCCWJ, CTB6, and BEST2010 datasets in Japanese, Chinese, and Thai, respectively.
