Abstract

This paper introduces a supersonic Korean morphological analyzer named MACH. It analyzes a 1 GB document within 5 minutes on a typical personal computer with a 1 GHz Pentium III CPU. This means that it analyzes about 500,000 words per second. In fact, the analysis speed of MACH is 12-20 times faster than the most famous Korean morphological analyzers. In spite of its supersonic speed, the analysis accuracy of MACH is not degraded at all, compared with any other Korean morphological analyzers.
