-----------------------------------------------------------------

Statistical models and rule-based models always have a failure rate. When you 
use them you have to decide what to do about the failures. Attacking the 
failures with another model drives toward Xeno's Paradox. For Chinese language 
search, breaking the failures into bigrams makes a lot of sense. The CJK bigram 
generator creates a massive amount of bogus bigrams. Bogus bigrams case bogus 
results from sloppy phrase searches.

Smart Chinese and Kuromoji are not systems for doing natural-language 
processing). They are systems for minimizing bogus bigrams. This allows sloppy 
phrase queries to find fewer bogus results. In my use case, Smart Chinese 
created only 2% (40k/1.8m) of the possible bigrams. [SOLR-3653] is the result 
of my experience in supporting searching Chinese legal documents. I have some 
useful numbers at the end of the page.

Another way to look at this is that Smart Chinese and Kuromoji are systems for 
minimizing bogus bigrams. This allows phrase queries to function without 
finding bogus results. The CJK bigram creator generates bogus bigrams, which 
cause phrase queries to find bogus results. [SOLR-3653] is the result of my 
experience in supporting searching Chinese legal documents. I have some useful 
numbers at the end of the page.

>         Environment: Cent OS 5, IPA Dictionary, Run with "Search mdoe"

> Japanese morphological analyzer, Kuromoji doesn't have a capability to 
> decompose every Japanese Katakana compound tokens to sub-tokens. It seems 
> that some Katakana tokens can be decomposed, but it cannot be applied every 
> Katakana compound tokens. For instance, "トートバッグ(tote bag)" and "ショルダーバッグ" 
> don't decompose into "トート バッグ" and "ショルダー バッグ" although the IPA dictionary 
> has "バッグ" in its entry.  I would like to apply the decompose feature to every 
> Katakana tokens if the sub-tokens are in the dictionary or add the capability 
> to force apply the decompose feature to every Katakana tokens.
