Because the Chinese text is continuous writing and no space exists between words, in the Chinese text processing, the first problem is the problem of word segmentation, and the correct segmentation of words is the necessary condition for Chinese text processing. In addition, the Chinese word segmentation method is not limited to Chinese application, but also applied to English processing, such as handwriting recognition, the spaces between words are not clear, and the Chinese word segmentation method can help to judge the boundaries of English words. Therefore, the research on Chinese word segmentation technology has great significance.
Although the basic expression units of modern Chinese are 'words' and many words are double-word or multi-word, the boundaries of words and phrases are difficult to distinguish due to different levels of understanding. For example, "punish on everywhere," who is a word or a phrase, "may have different criteria among different persons, and the same" sea, "" brewery, "etc., may make different judgments even for the same person. The dictionary adopted by the existing Chinese word segmentation technology is relatively universal, a dictionary specially aiming at professional vocabularies is not provided, and the word segmentation result is very inaccurate.
Therefore, a Chinese word segmentation method capable of recognizing professional vocabularies is needed, so that the word segmentation accuracy is further improved.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a professional vocabulary based Chinese segmentation method 200, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
The method 200 starts in step S210 by constructing a dictionary with a predetermined structure by reading in entries one by one.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a dictionary is constructed in which entries having the same first word are arranged in ascending order of the Unicode code built in Java, i.e., in the order from "one" to "tortoise".
Since Unicode codes contain some meaningless words, such as "" i "" and the like, if all Unicode codes are loaded at one time without screening, space resources are wasted, and the number of times of subsequent query matching is increased. Therefore, in the dictionary with the predetermined structure according to the present invention, a plurality of first arrays are established for storing entries having the same first character, and at least one second array is established in each first array, each second array is used for storing the content of an entry and an identification bit, and the identification bit is used for identifying whether the entry belongs to a professional vocabulary. In other words, all entries with the same first character form a word block (i.e. first arrays), and in each first array, a plurality of second arrays are further formed, each second array comprising a string constant and an integer constant, wherein the string constant is used for storing the contents of the entry, and the integer constant is used for storing the flag bit.
Table 1 shows one form of dictionary structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Embodiments of the present invention also provide a process of constructing a dictionary having a predetermined structure by reading entries one by one, as shown in fig. 3.
In the form of a file stream, in step S310, an input stream is established to sequentially read entries, and it is determined whether the end of the input stream is reached, if the end of the input stream is reached, all entries are read, and if not, the following steps are continuously performed.
Then, in step S320, it is determined whether or not a first array for storing the entry with the first character of the entry exists for the read entry. For example, if the entry read in is "reason", it is necessary to determine whether the first array with "way" as the first character exists in the current dictionary.
In step S330, if there is no such first array, a first array for storing all the entries with the first character as the first character is created according to the first character of the read entry. That is, if there is no first array with "track" as the first character, a first array is created in the dictionary to store all entries with "track" as the first character.
Next, in step S340, a second array is established in the first array to store the corresponding entry content. Of course, if it is determined that the dictionary originally has the first array with the first word "track", the process proceeds directly to step S340, where a second array is created in the first array for storing the "reason" of the entry.
Then, in step S350, it is determined whether the current entry belongs to a professional vocabulary, and if so, a first numerical value is assigned to the identification position; if the word is not a professional word, a second numerical value is given to the identification bit of the word, and the identification bit is written into a second array. Alternatively, the first numerical value is represented by 00 and the second numerical value is represented by 01, or the first numerical value is represented by 9 and the second numerical value is represented by 1, and the flag is only required to clearly distinguish between professional vocabulary and non-professional vocabulary, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.
Alternatively, professional vocabularies in different professional fields can be distinguished by giving different values to the identification bits, for example, for professional vocabularies in the hazardous chemical industry, the identification bit is set to 9; for professional vocabularies in the radio and television industry, the identification position is set to be 8. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
And then circularly entering the step S310, continuously reading the next vocabulary entry, and executing the steps S320 to S350 until the end of the input stream is reached and the dictionary is completely built.
Then, in step S220, a binary search method is used to search one or more character strings in the sentence to be segmented in the dictionary to obtain a plurality of to-be-determined segmented words after the initial segmentation.
According to one implementation mode of the invention, for a source sentence to be processed, non-Chinese characters in the source sentence are firstly identified, and then the identified non-Chinese characters are removed from the source sentence to be processed, so as to obtain a sentence to be segmented. Optionally, the non-chinese characters include punctuation, numeric characters, english characters, non-visible characters that ignore actions such as line feed, carriage return, horizontal tab, and the like. This provides basic language information for subsequent algorithmic processing and increases processing efficiency.
Specifically, step S220 may be performed as follows: for each character in the sentence to be segmented, searching a first array of entries which store the character as a first character according to the Unicode code of the character; forming at least one character string by taking the character as a first character, and searching the character string in all entries of the first array by a binary search method; and when the entry corresponding to the character string is found, taking the character string as a word to be determined.
For example, the source sentences to be processed are:
insurance benefit plan for group personal accident injury
Accidental injury: refers to the subject suffering from an external, sudden, involuntary, non-disease, objective event that harms the body. "
The sentence to be segmented is obtained by identifying the non-Chinese characters in the sentence:
"group personal injury insurance benefits plan accidental injury refers to an objective physical injury event that is subject to an external sudden unexpected non-disease"
Then, taking the first character "group" in the sentence to be participled as an example, looking up a first array of entries in the dictionary, which takes the "group" as the first character, looking up whether the entries such as the "group" or the "group" exist in the first array by a binary search method, and taking the character string "group" as a participle to be determined after finding out that the entries "group" exist in the first array. And executing the searching process on each other character until the last character to obtain a plurality of to-be-determined participles after the initial segmentation.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, if there is an entry only including the character in the first array, the character is determined to be a whole word (generally, a single character can be a word that is a word by itself to be a whole word), and then the character is regarded as a word to be segmented.
After the processing in step S220, the above source sentences to be processed may obtain the following participles to be determined:
"team, personal, Accident, trauma, injury, insurance, benefit, plan, Accident, trauma, injury, means, suffered, external, sudden, non, instinct, non, disease, cause, physical, injury, objective, incident"
And acquiring the corresponding identification bit from the second array for storing each word to be determined, and then setting the word segmentation weight for each word to be determined according to the identification bit corresponding to each word to be determined in step S230.
According to one implementation mode, if the identification position corresponding to the word to be determined indicates that the word to be determined belongs to a professional vocabulary, setting a first word segmentation weight for the word to be determined; and if the identification position corresponding to the word to be determined indicates that the word to be determined does not belong to the professional vocabulary, setting a second word segmentation weight for the word to be determined, wherein the first word segmentation weight is smaller than the second word segmentation weight. Optionally, the first segmentation weight is set to 0.5 and the second segmentation weight is set to 1.
Then, in step S240, a segmentation path is constructed according to a plurality of to-be-determined participles and the participle weights thereof, and the shortest path is selected as a participle result.
According to one implementation, word segmentation is performed using a shortest path word segmentation algorithm. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the execution process of constructing the splitting path is specifically described as follows:
1) and taking each character in the sentence to be segmented as a node, wherein the first character of the sentence to be segmented is taken as a starting node, and the last character is taken as a termination node.
2) And constructing a plurality of segmentation paths between the starting node and the terminating node in sequence according to the plurality of to-be-determined participles obtained in the step S230.
3) And calculating the length of each segmentation path by combining the segmentation weight of each to-be-determined segmentation word, wherein the length of each segmentation path is obtained by counting the score of the corresponding edge of each word segmented in the path.
If the word segmentation weight is not considered, the edge corresponding to each word counts 1, but if a word is more likely to form words with other words (i.e., contains non-word morphemes), the edge corresponding to the word counts 1 (i.e., counts 2), for example, "min", "true". On this basis, if the edge corresponding to a certain word is counted as x score and the corresponding word segmentation weight is y, after the consideration of the word segmentation weight is added, the score of the corresponding edge is as follows: x y.
4) And selecting a segmentation path with the shortest length as a word segmentation result.
Let, the sentence to be participled be: the accident of chloroform leakage of one tank car in a certain city of a certain province.
And constructing a plurality of segmentation paths between the starting node and the terminating node by taking each character as a node as follows:
(ii) province/city/tank car/tri/chloro/methyl/alkyl/leakage/accident
② a province/a city/a tank car/tri/chlorine/methane/leakage/accident
③ province/city/tank car/chloroform/leakage/accident
Wherein, methane and trichloromethane belong to professional vocabularies and correspond to the first segmentation weight (e.g. 0.5), and other words correspond to the second segmentation weight (e.g. 1).
The lengths corresponding to the three splitting paths are respectively as follows:
①1+1+1+1+1+2+1+2+1+1=12;
②1+1+1+1+1+2+1*0.5+1+1=9.5;
③1+1+1+1+1*0.5+1+1=6.5。
in summary, the segmentation result corresponding to the third segmentation path with the shortest length is selected as the word segmentation result.
According to the Chinese word segmentation scheme based on the professional vocabularies, the identification position indicating whether the entry is the professional vocabularies or not is added when the dictionary is built, then a smaller word segmentation weight can be set for the word to be determined which is judged to be the professional vocabularies during word segmentation, the length of the segmentation path is calculated according to the word segmentation weight and the segmentation path, and then the shortest path is selected as the word segmentation result. By introducing the scoring mechanism, the possible path selection problem is solved, the accuracy of the word segmentation result is ensured, not only can the cross ambiguity be better solved, but also the recognition rate of professional vocabularies in the professional field is higher, and the technology is applied to different industries to obtain higher word segmentation accuracy.

Claims (9)

1. A professional vocabulary based chinese word segmentation method, the method adapted to be executed in a computing device, the method comprising the steps of:
the method comprises the steps that a dictionary with a preset structure is constructed by reading entries item by item, wherein entries with the same first character in the dictionary are arranged in an ascending order according to a Unicode code, a plurality of first arrays are established for storing entries with the same first character, at least one second array is established in each first array for storing entry content and identification bits, and the identification bits are used for identifying whether the entries belong to professional vocabularies or not;
searching one or more character strings in the sentence to be segmented in the dictionary by utilizing a binary search method to obtain a plurality of to-be-determined segmented words after primary segmentation;
setting word segmentation weight for each word to be determined according to the identification bit corresponding to the word to be determined, comprising the following steps: if the identification position corresponding to the word to be determined indicates that the word to be determined belongs to the professional vocabulary, setting a first word segmentation weight for the word to be determined, and if the identification position corresponding to the word to be determined indicates that the word to be determined does not belong to the professional vocabulary, setting a second word segmentation weight for the word to be determined, wherein the first word segmentation weight is smaller than the second word segmentation weight; and
and constructing a segmentation path according to the multiple to-be-determined word segmentations and the word segmentation weight thereof, and selecting the shortest path as a word segmentation result.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of constructing a segmentation path according to a plurality of to-be-determined participles and participle weights thereof and selecting a shortest path as a participle result comprises:
taking each character in the sentence to be segmented as a node, wherein the first character of the sentence to be segmented is a starting node, and the last character of the sentence to be segmented is a termination node;
sequentially constructing a plurality of segmentation paths between an initial node and a termination node according to the word segmentation to be determined;
calculating the length of each segmentation path by combining the segmentation weight of each to-be-determined segmentation; and
and selecting a segmentation path with the shortest length as a word segmentation result.
3. The method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the step of constructing a dictionary having a predetermined structure by reading in entries entry by entry comprises:
establishing an input stream to read entries in sequence;
judging whether a first array for storing the entry with the first character of the entry as the first character exists;
if the first array does not exist, creating a first array for storing all the entries with the first character as the first character according to the read first character of the entry;
establishing a second array in the first array to store the entry content;
judging whether the entry belongs to a professional vocabulary or not, and if so, giving a first numerical value to the identification position of the entry; and
if the word is not a professional word, a second numerical value is given to the identification position.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein before the step of searching one or more character strings in the sentence to be segmented in the dictionary by using the binary search method to obtain the plurality of segmented words to be determined after the initial segmentation, the method further comprises the steps of:
identifying non-Chinese characters in a source sentence to be processed; and
and removing the identified non-Chinese characters from the source sentences to be processed to obtain the sentences to be segmented.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the non-Chinese characters include punctuation, numeric characters, English characters, non-visible characters that ignore actions.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the step of searching one or more character strings in the sentence to be segmented in the dictionary by using a binary search method to obtain a plurality of segmented words to be determined after the initial segmentation comprises:
for each character in the sentence to be participled:
searching a first array of entries which store the characters as first characters according to the Unicode codes of the characters;
forming at least one character string by taking the character as a first character, and searching the character string in all entries of the first array by a binary search method; and
and when the entry corresponding to the character string is found, taking the character string as a word to be determined.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of forming at least one character string with the character as the initial character, and searching all entries in the first array for the character string by binary search further comprises:
if the entry only comprising the character exists in the first array, judging the character as a whole word; and
and taking the character as a word to be determined.
8. A computing device, comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for performing any of the methods of claims 1-7.
