Summary: Decouple Kuromoji's morphological analyser and its
dictionary
Key: LUCENE-8816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8816
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: modules/analysis
Reporter: Tomoko Uchida
I've inspired by this mail-list thread.
[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-java-user/201905.mbox/%3CCAGUSZHA3U_vWpRfxQb4jttT7sAOu%2BuaU8MfvXSYgNP9s9JNsXw%40mail.gmail.com%3E]
As many Japanese already know, default built-in dictionary bundled with
Kuromoji (MeCab IPADIC) is a bit old and no longer maintained for many years.
While it have been slowly obsoleted, well-maintained and/or extended
dictionaries risen up in recent years (e.g.
[mecab-ipadic-neologd|https://github.com/neologd/mecab-ipadic-neologd],
[UniDic|https://unidic.ninjal.ac.jp/]). To use them with Kuromoji, some
attempts/projects/efforts are made in Japan.
However current architecture - dictionary bundled jar - is essentially
incompatible with the idea "switch the system dictionary", and developers have
difficulties to do so.
Traditionally, the morphological analysis engine (viterbi logic) and the
encoded dictionary (language model) had been decoupled (like MeCab, the origin
of Kuromoji, or lucene-gosen). So actually decoupling them is a natural idea,
and I feel that it's good time to re-think the current architecture.
Also this would be good for advanced users who have customized/re-trained their
own system dictionary.
Goals of this issue:
* Decouple JapaneseTokenizer itself and encoded system dictionary.
* Implement dynamic dictionary load mechanism.
* Provide developer-oriented dictionary build tool.
Non-goals:
- Provide learner or language model (it's up to users and should be outside
the scope).
I have not dove into the code yet, so have no idea about it's easy or difficult
at this moment.
