Recent CWS evaluations include closed tasks (training data only) and open tasks (external resources allowed), but the impact of external resources remains unclear. This study quantifies contributions of various resources and explores integration methods. Results show independent dictionaries significantly improve performance, a finding generalizable to other languages. Additionally, normalization of numbers, ASCII characters, and punctuation provides further gains. These findings offer practical guidance for optimizing open-task CWS systems 000000591 540__ $$fCC BY 000000591 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000591 650__ $$aArtificial Intelligence$$015109 000000591 650__ $$aMachine Learning$$011449 000000591 650__ $$aNatural Language Processing$$022716 000000591 650__ $$aLanguage$$021309 000000591 650__ $$aAsian People$$035483 000000591 6531_ $$adiscriminative method 000000591 6531_ $$achinese word segmentation 000000591 6531_ $$aChinese language 000000591 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000591 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000000591 692__ $$aCenter for Spoken Language Understanding$$041388 000000591 7001_ $$aChen, Yongshun$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000591 7201_ $$aRoark, Brian$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000591 8564_ $$95ded2749-9546-4b29-8a7d-6ccb0a5e5196$$s598043$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/591/files/592_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2e4aaef636ae99470da67978b24929452$$31 000000591 905__ $$a/rest/prod/xw/42/n7/91/xw42n791k 000000591 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:591$$pstudent-work 000000591 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
