mecab-ipadic
MeCab-ipadic is an open-source software package that is a part of MeCab, a morphological analyzer and part-of-speech tagger for the Japanese language. It is designed to have a general-purpose design that does not depend on specific languages, dictionaries, or corpora. The package uses Conditional Random Fields for parameter estimation, which improves performance compared to other analyzers like ChaSen, Juman, and KAKASI. It also operates faster on average.
