{"id":5264,"library":"jieba3k","title":"Jieba3k Chinese Word Segmentation Utility","description":"jieba3k is a Python library designed for Chinese word segmentation, aiming for Python 3 compatibility. It provides utilities to accurately cut Chinese sentences into individual words using various segmentation modes. While it served as an early Python 3 compatible version of the popular Jieba segmenter, it is now considered outdated. The current version is 0.35.1, last released in November 2014, and it does not have an active development or regular release cadence.","status":"deprecated","version":"0.35.1","language":"en","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/fxsjy/jieba/tree/jieba3k","tags":["chinese","segmentation","nlp","text processing"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install jieba3k","lang":"bash","label":"Install with pip"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Despite being installed as 'jieba3k', the library provides the 'jieba' module.
