Class ArabicSegmenter

java.lang.Object
  edu.stanford.nlp.international.arabic.process.ArabicSegmenter

All Implemented Interfaces:

WordSegmenter, ThreadsafeProcessor<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>, java.io.Serializable

public class ArabicSegmenter
extends java.lang.Object
implements WordSegmenter, java.io.Serializable, ThreadsafeProcessor<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>

Arabic word segmentation model based on conditional random fields (CRF). This is a re-implementation (with extensions) of the model described in (Green and DeNero, 2012).

This package includes a JFlex-based orthographic normalization package that runs on the input prior to processing by the CRF-based segmentation model. The normalization options are configurable, but must be consistent for both training and test data.
