Introduction
========
Rseg is a Chinese Word Segmentation(中文分词) routine in pure Ruby.

The algorithm is based on this article: http://xiecc.blog.163.com/blog/static/14032200671110224190/

Usage
========

Rseg now support two modes: inline and C/S mode.

1. Inline mode

> require 'rubygems'
> require 'rseg'
> Rseg.segment("需要分词的文章")
['需要', '分词', '的', '文章']

The first call to Rseg#segment will need about 30 seconds to load the dictionary, the second call will be very fast, you can also call Rseg#load to load dictionaries manually.

2. C/S mode

$ rseg_server
== Sinatra/0.9.4 has taken the stage on 4100

This will start rseg server on http://localhost:4100

You can visit it via your browser or the rseg command.

$ rseg '需要分词的文章'
需要 分词 的 文章

You can also access server with the Rseg#remote_segment

$ irb
> require 'rubygems'
> require 'rseg'
> Rseg.remote_segment("需要分词的文章") # This will be very fast
['需要', '分词', '的', '文章']
