Abstract
Text processing includes: segmenting received text based on a lexicon of smallest semantic units to obtain medium-grained segmentation results; merging the medium-grained segmentation results to obtain coarse-grained segmentation results, the coarse-grained segmentation results having coarser granularity than the medium-grained segmentation results; looking up in the lexicon of smallest semantic units respective search elements that correspond to segments in the medium-grained segmentation results; and forming fine-grained segmentation results based on the respective search elements, the fine-grained segmentation results having finer granularity than the medium-grained segmentation results.
