CASICT Tibetan Word Segmentation System for MLWS2017
Abstract
We participated in the MLWS 2017 on Tibetan word segmentation task, our system is trained in a unrestricted way, by introducing a baseline system and 76w tibetan segmented sentences of ours. In the system character sequence is processed by the baseline system into word sequence, then a subword unit (BPE algorithm) split rare words into subwords with its corresponding features, after that a neural network classifier is adopted to token each subword into "B,M,E,S" label, in decoding step a simple rule is used to recover a final word sequence. The candidate system for submition is selected by evaluating the F-score in dev set pre-extracted from the 76w sentences. Experiment shows that this method can fix segmentation errors of baseline system and result in a significant performance gain.
