Abstract
Recognition of chinese personal names becomes a difficult and key point in chinese unknown word recognition. This paper explored the context boundary of names and the law of names. The context boundary of names is concentrated, which can reduce recognition errors brought up by Forward Maximum Matching Segmentation; from real text corpus, we discover that names begin with surname, dislocation characters of names reach 70.83%, and rare characters of names reach 9.42%. This paper improved the Forward Maximum Matching Segmentation and implemented a name recognition test based on CRFs, which was combined with the surname, the context boundary, the dislocation character and the rare character. The open test shows that recall reaches 91.24% from BakeOff-2005.
