Chinese Pinyin-to-Character conversion is a key technology in Chinese Pinyin input system. In sentence based Pinyin-to-Character conversion, segmentation of Pinyin string has important influence on performance of Pinyin-to-Character conversion. There are lots of ambiguities in segmentation of Pinyin string. This paper classifies them into overlap and combinational ambiguities, and proposes disambiguation algorithms for them respectively. We then combine ambiguity resolution with several different language model to implement Pinyin-to-Character conversion task, experiments show a good performance brought by proposed algorithms
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
