Since written Chinese has no space to de- limit words, segmenting Chinese texts be- comes an essential task. During this task, the problem of unknown word occurs. It is impossible to register all words in a dictio- nary as new words can always be created by combining characters. We propose a unified solution to detect unknown words in Chinese texts. First, a morphological analysis is done to obtain initial segmen- tation and POS tags and then a chunker is used to detect unknown words.
