Abstract
Chinese characters are the cement of Asia; they are found in numerous scripts and languages. Yet, the number of characters involved is huge, thus causing a memorisation issue. Both foreign learners and native speakers have to cope with this issue. Aiming at mitigating this issue, we have recently started to describe a novel way to approach Chinese characters: the algebraic way. Such a scientific approach to these characters is innovative in itself, and we propose in this paper a concrete implementation of an input method editor (IME) based on this algebra: aIME. Furthermore, we shall experimentally measure the relevance of our IME and its performance by comparing it to several other existing IMEs. From the results obtained, it is clear that the proposed input method brings significant improvement over conventional approaches.
