We describe a method for disambiguating Chi- nese commas that is central to Chinese sen- tence segmentation. Chinese sentence seg- mentation is viewed as the detection of loosely coordinated clauses separated by commas. Trained and tested on data derived from the Chinese Treebank, our model achieves a clas- sification accuracy of close to 90% overall, which translates to an F1 score of 70% for detecting commas that signal sentence bound- aries.
