Aiming at the problems of ambiguity segmentation and low success rate of new words discovery in Chinese word segmentation, this paper proposes a Chinese word segmentation method based on dictionary and Hidden Markov Model. Through forward maximum matching algorithm and backward maximum matching algorithm, the coarse segmentation results are obtained, and the ambiguous fragments are collected and input into the Hidden Markov model. The Hidden Markov Model performs secondary word segmentation through word order tagging and identifies new words, and adds new words to the dictionary to improve the dictionary. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the problem of low success rate of ambiguity recognition and new word discovery, improves the accuracy, recall and F1 value of ordinary text segmentation, and improves the problem that Jieba segmentation ability decreases in professional text.
