# Use instance for segmentation
seg_list = tokenizer.cut("我是程序员")
print("/ ".join(seg_list))
# Search engine mode

import rust_jieba
# Get word, part-of-speech, start and end positions
tokens = rust_jieba.tokenize("我爱北京天安门")
for word, flag, start, end in tokens:
print(f"{word} ({flag}): [{start}, {end})")
import rust_jieba
# Load custom dictionary
rust_jieba.load_userdict("user_dict.txt")
# Or create tokenizer with custom dictionary
tokenizer = rust_jieba.JiebaTokenizer("user_dict.txt")
Each line in the dictionary file should follow the format:
word [frequency] [part_of_speech]
Example:
北京大学 100 nt
计算机 50 n
人工智能 80 n
Due to the Rust implementation, this version shows significant performance improvements over the original Python implementation when processing large amounts of text.
