Word is the fundamental unit in natural language understanding. However, Chinese sentences consists of the continuous Chinese characters without natural delimiters. Therefore, Chinese word segmentation has become the first mission of Chinese natural language processing, which identifies the sequence of words in a sentence and marks the boundaries between words. Different with the popular used news dataset, we use more informal texts from Sina Weibo. The training and test data consist of micro-blogs from various topics, such as finance, sports, entertainment, and so on. The data are collected from Sina Weibo. Both the training and test files are UTF-8 encoded. Besides the training data, we also provide the background data, from which the training and test data are drawn. The purpose of providing the background data is to find the more sophisticated features by the unsupervised way.

词汇是自然语言理解的基本单元。然而，中文语句由连续汉字组成，并无天然分隔符。因此，中文分词（Chinese word segmentation）成为中文自然语言处理的首要任务：其目标是识别语句中的词汇序列，并标记词汇间的边界。与当前广泛使用的新闻类数据集不同，本数据集采用源自新浪微博（Sina Weibo）的非正式文本。训练集与测试集均包含多主题的微博博文，涵盖金融、体育、娱乐等多个领域。所有数据均采集自新浪微博，训练文件与测试文件均采用UTF-8编码格式。除训练数据外，我们还提供背景数据集，训练集与测试集均抽取自该背景数据。提供背景数据的目的在于通过无监督学习方法挖掘更为精细的特征。
