Introduction
========
Rseg is a Chinese Word Segmentation(中文分词) routine in pure Ruby.
The algorithm is based on this article: https://xiecc.blog.163.com/blog/static/14032200671110224190/
Usage
========
Rseg now support two modes: inline and C/S mode.
1. Inline mode
> require 'rubygems'
> require 'rseg'
> Rseg.segment("需要分词的文章")
['需要', '分词', '的', '文章']
The first call to Rseg#segment will need about 30 seconds to load the dictionary, the second call will be very fast, you can also call Rseg#load to load dictionaries manually.
2. C/S mode
$ rseg_server
== Sinatra/0.9.4 has taken the stage on 4100
This will start rseg server on https://localhost:4100
You can visit it via your browser or the rseg command.
$ rseg '需要分词的文章'
需要 分词 的 文章
You can also access server with the Rseg#remote_segment
$ irb
> require 'rubygems'
> require 'rseg'
> Rseg.remote_segment("需要分词的文章") # This will be very fast
['需要', '分词', '的', '文章']
