Text to sentence splitter using a heuristic algorithm.
This module is a port of the Python package sentence-splitter.
The module allows the splitting of text paragraphs into sentences. It is based on scripts developed by Philipp Koehn and Josh Schroeder for processing the Europarl corpus.
The module uses punctuation and capitalization clues to split plain text into a list of sentences :
import Sentencize
sen = Sentencize.split_sentence("This is a paragraph. It contains several sentences. \"But why,\" you ask?")
println(sen)
# ["This is a paragraph.", "It contains several sentences.", "\"But why,\" you ask?"]You can specify another language than English:
sen = Sentencize.split_sentence("Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (« BOPI »), dont les actifs liés aux immeubles directement...", lang="fr")
println(sen)
# ["Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (« BOPI »), dont les actifs liés aux immeubles directement..."]You can specify your own non-breaking prefixes file:
sen = Sentencize.split_sentence("This is an example.", prefix_file="my_prefixes.txt", lang=nothing)Or even pass the prefixes as a dictionary:
sen = Sentencize.split_sentence("This is another example. Another sentence.", prefixes=Dict("example" => Sentencize.default))
# ["This is another example. Another sentence."]Currently supported languages are :
