Overview
mecab-ipadic-NEologd is customized system dictionary for MeCab.
This dictionary includes many neologisms (new word), which are extracted from many language resources on the Web.
When you analyze the Web documents, it's better to use this system dictionary and default one (ipadic) together.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Recorded about 3.22 million pairs(including duplicate entries) of surface/furigana(kana indicating the pronunciation of kanji) of the words such as the named entity that can not be tokenized correctly using default system dictionary of MeCab.
- Update process of this dictionary will automatically run on development server.
- I'm planning to renew this dictionary at least updating twice weekly
- Every Monday and Thursday
- I'm planning to renew this dictionary at least updating twice weekly
- When renewing by utilizing the language resources on Web, a new named entity can be recorded.
- The resources are being utilized at present are as follows.
- Dump data of hatena keyword
- Japanese postal code number data download (ken_all.lzh)
- The name-of-the-station list of whole country of Japan
- The entry data of the person names (last name / first name)
- The entry data of emojis from Unicode 10.0 and Emoji 5.0
- The entry data of Kaomoji strings
- The entry data of adverbs

- The resources are being utilized at present are as follows.
- A lot of documents, which crawled from Web
- I'm planning to record the words such as the named entity, which will be extracted from other new language resource.
Cons
- Classification of the named entity is insufficient
- Ex. Some person names and a product name are classified into the same named entity category.
- Not named entity word is recorded as named entity too.
- Since the manual checking to all the named entities can't conduct, it may have made a mistake in matching of surface of the named entity and furigana of the named entity.
- Corresponding to only UTF-8
- You should install the UTF-8 version of MeCab
