Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, the rapid growth of Consumer Generated Media (CGM) such as Twitter introduced much expressive variations and informal representations into textual resources. Although word segmentation is the first step in most Japanese language applications, current word segmentation tools are not sufficiently adapted to such informal text yet. In this paper, we focus on a most frequent phrase expression in Japanese morning twitter, “おはようございます”, and construct a CRF-based extractor of the variations. Using 500 manually annotated samples, we obtain F1 score of over 0.91 for both the head span (“おはよう”) and the entire span (including the attachment part such as “ございます”). We also show that the extracted variations contain normalization pattern which are not defined in JUMAN 7.0.
