CRF-based Sequence Segmentation Function

A CRF-based Sequence Segmentation Function is a Sequence Segmentation Function that represents a Conditional Random Field.

• AKA: CRF-based Segmenter.
• Context:
  • It can be a CRF-based Sequence Tagging Function that is used as a Sequence Segmentation Function.
    • CRFs are naturally Sequence Tagging Models not Sequence Segmenting Models. (Sarawagi & Cohen, 2004)
• See: CRF System.
