OpenNLP

Syntax#

opennlp SentenceDetector ./en-sent.bin < ./input.txt > output.txt
Initialize SentenceDetectorME like this: SentenceDetectorME sentenceDetector = new SentenceDetectorME(model);
Use ‘sentDetect’ method to get sentences like this: String sentences[] = sentenceDetector.sentDetect(“string of information”);

Remarks#

download models(like en-sent.bin) from the following link

Sentence Detection using openNLP using CLI and Java API

using CLI:

$ opennlp SentenceDetector ./en-sent.bin < ./input.txt > output.txt

using API:

import static java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes;
import static java.nio.file.Paths.get;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Objects;

public class FileUtils {
/**
 * Get file data as string
 * 
 * @param fileName
 * @return
 */
    public static String getFileDataAsString(String fileName) {
        Objects.nonNull(fileName);
        try {
            String data = new String(readAllBytes(get(fileName)));
            return data;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());

  String[] sentences = util.getSentences(data);

  for (String s : sentences)

output will be:
