Class SentenceDetectorME

java.lang.Object

opennlp.tools.sentdetect.SentenceDetectorME

All Implemented Interfaces:

SentenceDetector

public class SentenceDetectorME
extends Object
implements SentenceDetector

A sentence detector for splitting up raw text into sentences.

A maximum entropy model is used to evaluate end-of-sentence characters in a string to determine if they signify the end of a sentence.

Method Detail

sentDetect

public String[] sentDetect(String s)

Detect sentences in a String.

Specified by:

sentDetect in interface SentenceDetector

Parameters:

s - The string to be processed.

Returns:

A string array containing individual sentences as elements.

sentPosDetect

public Span[] sentPosDetect(String s)

Detect the position of the first words of sentences in a String.

Specified by:

sentPosDetect in interface SentenceDetector

Parameters:

s - The string to be processed.

Returns:

A integer array containing the positions of the end index of every sentence

getSentenceProbabilities

public double[] getSentenceProbabilities()

Returns the probabilities associated with the most recent calls to sentDetect().

Returns:

probability for each sentence returned for the most recent call to sentDetect. If not applicable an empty array is returned.
