stanford Core NLP: Splitting sentences from text

Question

I am new to stanford Core NLP. I would like to use it for splitting sentences from text in English, German,French. Which class does this work?Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For the lower level classes that handle this, you can look at the tokenizer documentation. At the CoreNLP level, you can just use the Annotator's "tokenize,ssplit".

Answer 2

Have you looked at the documentation on the main Stanford NLP page? About half way down, it provides an example of almost the exact thing you're looking for. The example not only splits sentences, but also words.

Answer 3

Why not use BreakIterator from java.text package...... to split Sentences, Lines, Words, Characters...etc

See this link:

Answer 4

    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.setProperty("annotators", "tokenize, ssplit, parse");
    StanfordCoreNLP pipeline = new StanfordCoreNLP(properties);
    List<CoreMap> sentences = pipeline.process(SENTENCES)
    .get(CoreAnnotations.SentencesAnnotation.class);    
    // I just gave a String constant which contains sentences.
    for (CoreMap sentence : sentences) {
            System.out.println(sentence.toString());
    }
