Improving Multi-Criteria Chinese Word Segmentation through Learning Sentence Representation (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent Chinese word segmentation models tend to learn the segmentation knowledge through in-vocabulary words rather than understanding the meaning of the entire context. |
| Approach: | They propose a context-aware approach that incorporates unsupervised sentence representation learning over different dropout masks into the multi-criteria training framework. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art (SoTA) performance on six of the nine CWS benchmark datasets and out-of vocabulary (OOV) recalls for eight of nine. |
