Text Segmenters

• SaT — Segment Any Text: A Universal Approach for Robust, Efficient and Adaptable Sentence Segmentation by Markus Frohmann, Igor Sterner, Benjamin Minixhofer, Ivan Vulić and Markus Schedl (**state-of-the-art, encouraged **). - 85 languages

Usage

Example: Using SaT for Sentence Segmentation

from ovos_document_chunkers import SaTSentenceSplitter

config = {"model": "sat-3l-sm", "use_cuda": False}
splitter = SaTSentenceSplitter(config)

text = "This is a sentence. And this is another one."
sentences = splitter.chunk(text)

for sentence in sentences:
    print(sentence)

Example: Using WtP for Paragraph Segmentation

from ovos_document_chunkers import WtPParagraphSplitter

config = {"model": "wtp-bert-mini", "use_cuda": False}
splitter = WtPParagraphSplitter(config)

text = "This is a paragraph. It contains multiple sentences.\n\nThis is another paragraph."
paragraphs = splitter.chunk(text)

for paragraph in paragraphs:
    print(paragraph)

Example: Using PySBD for Sentence Segmentation

from ovos_document_chunkers import PySBDSentenceSplitter

config = {"lang": "en"}
splitter = PySBDSentenceSplitter(config)

text = "This is a sentence. This is another one!"
sentences = splitter.chunk(text)

for sentence in sentences:
    print(sentence)
