About:
Juman is a widely-used Japanese morphological analysis system developed by Kyoto University. It segments Japanese text into morphemes and assigns part-of-speech information, which is essential for natural language processing tasks. Its robust dictionary and rule-based system provide high accuracy for analyzing standard Japanese text.
Key Features:
  • High-precision morphological analysis
  • Extensive Japanese lexicon
  • Part-of-speech tagging
  • Compound word processing
  • Command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Preprocessing text for natural language processing (NLP) pipelines
  • Building Japanese text search and indexing systems
  • Analyzing linguistic features in Japanese documents
Alternatives:
  • MeCab – MeCab is a more modern and extensible successor that supports multiple dictionaries, including Juman's.
  • Kuromoji – A Java-based morphological analyzer often used in Elasticsearch, offering similar functionality for the JVM ecosystem.
