The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

  1. A Stochastic Finite-State Word-Segmentation Algorithm for Chinese (1996 · 410 citations)
    Written Chinese does not mark word boundaries with spaces, so any downstream system, such as text-to-speech, translation, or retrieval, must first recover words from strings of hanzi.
  2. Emotions from Text: Machine Learning for Text-based Emotion Prediction (2005 · 160 citations)
    The paper addresses text-based emotion prediction (TEP): deciding which emotion, if any, a sentence conveys.
