An Error-Driven Word-Character Hybrid Model for Joint Chinese Word Segmentation and POS Tagging
In this paper, we present a discriminative word-character hybrid model for joint Chinese word segmentation and POS tagging. Our word-character hybrid model offers high performance...

Subword-Based Tagging for Confidence-Dependent Chinese Word Segmentation
We proposed a subword-based tagging for Chinese word segmentation to improve the existing character-based tagging. The subword-based tagging was implemented using the maximum entr...

Chinese Segmentation with a Word-Based Perceptron Algorithm
Standard approaches to Chinese word segmentation treat the problem as a tagging task, assigning labels to the characters in the sequence indicating whether the character marks a w...
