A fast implementation of RuSH (Rule-based sentence Segmenter using Hashing).
Project description
PyRuSH is the python implementation of RuSH (Ru le-based sentence S egmenter using H ashing), which is originally developed using Java. RuSH is an efficient, reliable, and easy adaptable rule-based sentence segmentation solution. It is specifically designed to handle the telegraphic written text in clinical note. It leverages a nested hash table to execute simultaneous rule processing, which reduces the impact of the rule-base growth on execution time and eliminates the effect of rule order on accuracy.

Installation
pip install PyRuSH
How to use
A standalone RuSH class is available to be directly used in your code.
>>> from PyRuSH import RuSH >>> input_str = "The patient was admitted on 03/26/08\n and was started on IV antibiotics elevation" +\ >>> ", was also counseled to minimizing the cigarette smoking. The patient had edema\n\n" +\ >>> "\n of his bilateral lower extremities. The hospital consult was also obtained to " +\ >>> "address edema issue question was related to his liver hepatitis C.

" >>> rush = RuSH('../conf/rush_rules.tsv') >>> sentences=rush.segToSentenceSpans(input_str) >>> for sentence in sentences: >>> print("Sentence({0}-{1}):\t>{2}<".format(sentence.begin, sentence.end, input_str[sentence.begin:sentence.end]))
