class SentenceDetectorDLApproach extends AnnotatorApproach[SentenceDetectorDLModel]

Trains an annotator that detects sentence boundaries using a deep learning approach.

For pretrained models see SentenceDetectorDLModel.

Currently, only the CNN model is supported for training, but in the future the architecture of the model can be set with setModelArchitecture.

The default model "cnn" is based on the paper Deep-EOS: General-Purpose Neural Networks for Sentence Boundary Detection (2020, Stefan Schweter, Sajawel Ahmed) using a CNN architecture. We also modified the original implementation a little bit to cover broken sentences and some impossible end of line chars.

Each extracted sentence can be returned in an Array or exploded to separate rows, if explodeSentences is set to true.

For extended examples of usage, see the Examples and the SentenceDetectorDLSpec.

Example

The training process needs data, where each data point is a sentence.

In this example the train.txt file has the form of

...
Slightly more moderate language would make our present situation – namely the lack of progress – a little easier.
His political successors now have great responsibilities to history and to the heritage of values bequeathed to them by Nelson Mandela.
...

where each line is one sentence. Training can then be started like so:

import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.base.DocumentAssembler
import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.annotators.sentence_detector_dl.SentenceDetectorDLApproach
import org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline

val trainingData = spark.read.text("train.txt").toDF("text")

val documentAssembler = new DocumentAssembler()
  .setInputCol("text")
  .setOutputCol("document")

val sentenceDetector = new SentenceDetectorDLApproach()
  .setInputCols(Array("document"))
  .setOutputCol("sentences")
  .setEpochsNumber(100)

val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(documentAssembler, sentenceDetector))

val model = pipeline.fit(trainingData)
