Fun Sentence Splitter

A fundamental sentence splitter based on spacy.

Usage

from fun_sentence_splitter import init

splitter = init(spacy_model="de_core_news_sm")

for sentence in splitter("Das ist ein Satz. Und hier noch einer!"):
    print(sentence.text, sentence.span)

init(...) returns a splitter function. Each Sentence exposes .text and .span (a (start, end) index pair into the original text).

Split on line breaks first (e.g. for structured documents) and only run spaCy on longer lines:

splitter = init(
    spacy_model="de_core_news_sm",
    always_split_on_line_breaks=True,
    max_len_before_split=100,
)

Download the language model once: uv run python -m spacy download de_core_news_sm

Run Evaluation

./evaluate.sh path/to/splits_dir

path/to/splits_dir: directory containing pairs of *.split and *.txt files. .split files contain the expected sentences, each on a separate line. .txt files contain the original text to split.

The evaluation script will automatically update the spacy dependency and download the required language models.
