Kagome is a self-contained Japanese morphological analyzer written in pure Go. It provides tokenization with part-of-speech tagging, multiple segmentation modes (normal, search, extended), and dictionaries embedded in the binary for easy deployment. The system includes a CLI tool with subcommands (tokenize, server, lattice, sentence), a RESTful API server mode, WebAssembly support for browser use, and C library API for FFI integration with languages like Python and PHP. The architecture centers around a lattice-based Viterbi algorithm for tokenization, with clean separation between tokenizer logic, dictionary handling, filtering utilities, and interface layers.
Typed Japanese is a TypeScript type-level library that models Japanese grammar as composable generic types, enabling the construction of grammatically valid Japanese sentences entirely within the type system. The core library defines interfaces for verbs (godan, ichidan, irregular), adjectives (i-adjectives, na-adjectives), copulas, particles, and sentence patterns, using template literal types and conditional types to encode conjugation rules. This allows developers to write Japanese sentences as type aliases that resolve to the exact Japanese string, with the TypeScript compiler acting as a grammar validator. The repository also includes an interactive playground web application (React + Vite + Monaco Editor) where users can explore the type system, write and analyze sentences, and follow a bilingual (English/Chinese) tutorial course spanning 47 chapters from elementary to advanced levels. A macOS app (TypedTranslate) provides a native interface for grammar annotation and chat, using a Bun bridge to integrate with the type system and LLMs (Codex/Claude). The project is hybrid in nature: while primarily an application/library, it includes a substantial data/research component in the form of curated evaluation datasets, an LLM annotation pipeline, and a rigorous iterative eval loop that measures conformance, reliability, and capability across grammar categories. The eval system produces quantifiable scoreboards and drives systematic improvements to the library's type definitions, prompt templates, and tutorial content.
This repository functions as a curated "Awesome List" for Japanese Natural Language Processing (NLP), aggregating metadata from GitHub and Hugging Face. It includes a Claude Code plugin that allows searching the 1,197-resource dataset directly within the AI interface. The data lineage involves manual curation and automated scraping of external repositories, stored in `resources.json` and Markdown documentation. Critical risks include significant link rot (many "repo not found" entries), a suspicious future commit date (2026-07-20), and high technical drift due to the rapidly changing NLP landscape. While valuable for discovery, the static nature of the data and lack of environment definitions make it unsuitable for production reliance without verification.
