...Initially, it was a Chinese word segmentation component based on the open source project Luence as the main application, combined with dictionary word segmentation and grammar analysis algorithms. Starting from version 3.0, IK has developed into a common word segmentation component for Java, independent of the Lucene project, and at the same time provides a default optimized implementation of Lucene. In the 2012 version, IK implemented a simple word segmentation ambiguity elimination algorithm, marking the evolution of the IK tokenizer from pure dictionary word segmentation to analog semantic word segmentation.
