How can I split a text into sentences using the Stanford parser?

Question

How can I split a text or paragraph into sentences using Stanford parser?

Is there any method that can extract sentences, such as getSentencesFromString()

Answer 1

With the Simple API provided by Stanford CoreNLP version 3.6.0 or 3.7.0.

Here's an example with 3.6.0. It works exactly the same with 3.7.0.

Java Code Snippet

import java.util.List;

import edu.stanford.nlp.simple.Document;
import edu.stanford.nlp.simple.Sentence;
public class TestSplitSentences {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Document doc = new Document("The text paragraph. Another sentence. Yet another sentence.");
        List sentences = doc.sentences();
        sentences.stream().forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}

Yields:

The text paragraph.

Another sentence.

Yet another sentence.
