DESCRIPTION

KyTea is a general toolkit developed for analyzing text, with a focus on Japanese, Chinese and other languages requiring word or morpheme segmentation.

This module works under KyTea Ver.0.4.2 and later. Under the old versions of KyTea, this module does not work!

If you've changed the default install directory of KyTea, please install Text::KyTea in interactive mode (e.g., cpanm --interactive or cpanm -v).

For more information about KyTea, please see the "SEE ALSO" section of this page.

METHODS

$kytea = Text::KyTea->new(%config)

Creates a new Text::KyTea instance.

  my $kytea = Text::KyTea->new(
      model       => 'model.bin', # default is "$INSTALL_DIRECTORY/share/kytea/model.bin"
      notag       => [1,2],       # default is []
      nounk       => 0,           # default is 0 (Estimates the pronunciation of unkown words.)
      unkbeam     => 50,          # default is 50
      tagmax      => 3,           # default is 3
      deftag      => 'UNK',       # default is 'UNK'
      unktag      => '',          # default is ''
      prontag_num => 1,           # default is 1 (Normally no need to change the default value.)
  );

$results_arrayref = $kytea->parse($text)

Parses the given text via KyTea, and returns the results. The results are returned as an array reference.

$pron = $kytea->pron( $text [, $replacement ] )

Returns the estimated pronunciation of the given text. Unknown pronunciations are replaced with $replacement.

If $replacement is not specified, unknown pronunciations are replaced with the original characters.

This is the mere shortcut method.

$kytea->read_model($path)

Reads the given model file. The model file should be read by new(model => $path) method.

Model files are available at http://www.phontron.com/kytea/model.html.
