Maxent_Sent_Token_Annotator {openNLP}

Apache OpenNLP based sentence token annotators

Description

Generate an annotator which computes sentence annotations using the Apache OpenNLP Maxent sentence detector.

Usage

Maxent_Sent_Token_Annotator(language = "en", probs = FALSE, model = NULL)

Arguments

language

a character string giving the ISO-639 code of the language being processed by the annotator.

probs

a logical indicating whether the computed annotations should provide the token probabilities obtained from the Maxent model as their ‘prob’ feature.

model

a character string giving the path to the Maxent model file to be used, or NULL indicating to use a default model file for the given language (if available, see Details).

Details

See http://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/ for available model files. For languages other than English, these can conveniently be made available to R by installing the respective openNLPmodels.language package from the repository at https://datacube.wu.ac.at. For English, no additional installation is required.

Value

An Annotator object giving the generated sentence token annotator.
