THULAC

THULAC (THU Lexical Analyze for Chinese) is a software tool designed to quickly and accurately identify words and their parts of speech in Chinese text. It breaks down sentences into meaningful units, like how spaces do in English, and labels each word with its grammatical role (such as noun or verb). Developed by Tsinghua University, THULAC is widely used in natural language processing applications to understand, analyze, and process Chinese language data efficiently. Its speed and accuracy make it valuable for tasks like information retrieval, translation, and sentiment analysis.
