pySBD - python Sentence Boundary Disambiguation (SBD) - is a rule-based sentence boundary detection module that works out-of-the-box.
This project is a direct port of ruby gem - Pragmatic Segmenter which provides rule-based sentence boundary detection.
Python
pip install pysbd
- Currently pySBD supports only English language. Support for more languages will be released soon.
import pysbd
text = "My name is Jonas E. Smith. Please turn to p. 55."
seg = pysbd.Segmenter(language="en", clean=False)
print(seg.segment(text))
# ['My name is Jonas E. Smith.', 'Please turn to p. 55.']- Use
pysbdas a spaCy pipeline component. (recommended)
Please refer to example pysbd_as_spacy_component.py
