Kagome v2

Kagome is an open source Japanese morphological analyzer written in pure golang.

The dictionary/statistical models such as MeCab-IPADIC, UniDic (unidic-mecab) and so on, are able to be embedded in binaries.

Improvements from v1.

• Dictionaries are maintained in a separate repository, and only the dictionaries you need are embedded in the binary.
• Brushed up and added several APIs.

Dictionaries

dict	source	package
MeCab IPADIC	mecab-ipadic-2.7.0-20070801	github.com/ikawaha/kagome-dict/ipa
UniDIC	unidic-mecab-2.1.2_src	github.com/ikawaha/kagome-dict/uni

Note: IPADIC is MeCab's so-called "standard dictionary" and is characterized by its ability to split morphological units more intuitively than UniDIC. In contrast, UniDIC breaks phrases into smaller example sentence units to create metadata for full-text search. For more details, see the wiki.

Experimental Features

mecab-ipadic-NEologd	mecab-ipadic-neologd	github.com/ikawaha/kagome-ipa-neologd

Segmentation mode for search

Kagome has segmentation mode for search such as Kuromoji.

• Normal: Regular segmentation
• Search: Use a heuristic to do additional segmentation useful for search
• Extended: Similar to search mode, but also uni-gram unknown words

Untokenized	Normal	Search	Extended
関西国際空港	関西国際空港	関西　国際　空港	関西　国際　空港
日本経済新聞	日本経済新聞	日本　経済　新聞	日本　経済　新聞
シニアソフトウェアエンジニア	シニアソフトウェアエンジニア	シニア　ソフトウェア　エンジニア	シニア　ソフトウェア　エンジニア
デジカメを買った	デジカメ　を　買っ　た	デジカメ　を　買っ　た	デ　ジ　カ　メ　を　買っ　た

Programming example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/ikawaha/kagome-dict/ipa"
	"github.com/ikawaha/kagome/v2/tokenizer"
)

func main() {
	t, err := tokenizer.New(ipa.Dict(), tokenizer.OmitBosEos())
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// wakati
	fmt.Println("---wakati---")
	seg := t.Wakati("すもももももももものうち")
	fmt.Println(seg)

	// tokenize
	fmt.Println("---tokenize---")
	tokens := t.Tokenize("すもももももももものうち")
	for _, token := range tokens {
		features := strings.Join(token.Features(), ",")
		fmt.Printf("%s\t%v\n", token.Surface, features)
	}
}

output:

---wakati---
[すもも も もも も もも の うち]
---tokenize---

Server command

API

Start a server and try to access the "/tokenize" endpoint.

% kagome server &
% curl -XPUT localhost:6060/tokenize -d'{"sentence":"すもももももももものうち", "mode":"normal"}' | jq .

Web App

GitHub Page: https://ikawaha.github.io/kagome/

Start a server and access http://localhost:6060. (To draw a lattice, demo application uses graphviz . You need graphviz installed.)

% kagome server &

Lattice command

A debug tool of tokenize process outputs a lattice in graphviz dot format.

% kagome lattice 私は鰻 | dot -Tpng -o lattice.png
