Today's very popular search engine technology, which is conducive to further analysis and full-text retrieval technology for Chinese word segmentation technology, and Chinese word segmentation is an important technology of Chinese information, the quality of Chinese word segmentation will have a direct impact on the efficiency of Chinese information. Therefore, the related concepts of the Chinese algorithm are discussed in this paper, some specific algorithm for Chinese, like algorithms based on rules and dictionary, statistical algorithms based on large-scale corpus, unity algorithm of statistics and the rule, artificial intelligence word segmentation algorithms and so on, and finally it describes the evaluated basis and difficulty of Chinese word segmentation algorithm.
