rmmseg-cpp

rmmseg-cpp is a high performance Chinese word segmentation utility for Ruby. It features full "Ferret":http://ferret.davebalmain.com/ integration as well as support for normal Ruby program usage. rmmseg-cpp is a re-written of the original RMMSeg(http://rmmseg.rubyforge.org/) gem in C++. RMMSeg is written in pure Ruby. Though I tried hard to tweak RMMSeg, it just consumes lots of memory and the segmenting process is rather slow. The interface is almost identical to RMMSeg but the performance is much better. This gem is always preferable in production use. However, if you want to understand how the MMSEG segmenting algorithm works, the source code of RMMSeg is a better choice than this.
