 However, existing approaches usually finetune pre-trained models directly on a separate downstream Chinese Word Segmentation corpus. These recent methods don't fully utilize the prior knowledge of existing segmentation corpora, and don't regard the discrepancy between the pre-training tasks and the downstream Chinese Word Segmentation tasks.
<clarity>  However, existing approaches usually finetune pre-trained models directly on a separate downstream Chinese Word Segmentation corpus. These recent methods don't fully utilize the prior knowledge of existing segmentation corpora, and don't regard the discrepancy between the pre-training tasks and the downstream Chinese Word Segmentation tasks.
 However, PTMs used in previous works usually adopt language modeling as pre-training tasks, lacking task-specific prior segmentation knowledge and ignoring the discrepancy between the pre-training tasks and the downstream Chinese Word Segmentation tasks.
