PragmaticSegmenterNet

This project is a direct port of Pragmatic Segmenter which provides rule-based sentence boundary detection.

Usage

The Segmenter class provides the Segment method which in the simplest usage takes a string:

using PragmaticSegmenterNet;

IReadOnlyList<string> result = Segmenter.Segment("One Sentence. And another sentence.");

// ["One Sentence.", "And another sentence."]

IReadOnlyList<string> result2 = Segmenter.Segment("Anything.", Language.Italian);

// ["Anything"]

The Segment method has a number of optional parameters:

IReadOnlyList<string> Segment(string text, Language language = Language.English, bool cleanText = true, DocumentType documentType = DocumentType.Any)

• Language - An enum representing the supported languages, the default is English, see the supported languages list below for the list of currently supported languages.
• CleanText - A boolean indicating whether the input text should be cleaned prior to segmentation. Cleaning removes extra newlines and whitespace. Defaults to true.
• DocumentType - Used by the text cleaning process to determine which reformatting to apply. For PDFs this handles newlines in the middle of a sentence whereas for HTML documents this will handle HMTL tags. Defaults to any which does not apply any special formatting.

Languages

• English = 0 (default)
• Amharic = 1
• Arabic = 2
• Armenian = 3
• Bulgarian = 4
• Burmese = 5
• Chinese = 6
• Danish = 7
• Dutch = 8
• French = 9
• German = 10
• Greek = 11
• Hindi = 12
• Italian = 13
• Japanese = 14
• Kazakh = 15 (partial support, potentially only for the Cyrillic form of the alphabet)
• Persian = 16
• Polish = 17
• Russian = 18
• Spanish = 19
• Urdu = 20
