title: Is there any good open-source or freely available Chinese segmentation algorithm available?
body: <p>As phrased in the question, I'm looking for a free and/or open-source text-segmentation algorithm for Chinese, I do understand it is a very difficult task to solve, as there are many ambiguities involed. I know there's google's API, but well it is rather a black-box, i.e. not many information of what it is doing are passing through.</p>
