text-segmentation

I've been trying to use: $string="The Dr. is here!!! I am glad I'm in the U.S.A. for the Dr. quality is great!!!!!!"; preg_match_all('~.*?[?.!]~s',$string,$sentences); print_r($sentences); But it doesn't work on Dr., U.S.A., etc. Does anyone have any better suggestions? there is not any simple solution for that. you need do some natural language processing(NLP) in your application and recognize each sentence. there is something call OpenNLP , it's a JAVA-based NLP parser tool. Or Stanford NLP parser in Ruby. you can find something like that for php. here I found a set of classes for natural

Background Looking to automate creating Domains in JasperServer. Domains are a "view" of data for creating ad hoc reports. The names of the columns must be presented to the user in a human readable fashion. Problem There are over 2,000 possible pieces of data from which the organization could theoretically want to include on a report. The data are sourced from non-human-friendly names such as: payperiodmatchcode labordistributioncodedesc dependentrelationship actionendoption actionendoptiondesc addresstype addresstypedesc historytype psaddresstype rolename bankaccountstatus

I need to parse sentences from a paragraph in Python. Is there an existing package to do this, or should I be trying to use regex here? The nltk.tokenize module is designed for this and handles edge cases. For example: >>> from nltk import tokenize >>> p = "Good morning Dr. Adams. The patient is waiting for you in room number 3." >>> tokenize.sent_tokenize(p) ['Good morning Dr. Adams.', 'The patient is waiting for you in room number 3.'] Here is how I am getting the first n sentences: def get_first_n_sentence(text, n): endsentence = ".?!" sentences = itertools.groupby(text, lambda x: any(x

As phrased in the question, I'm looking for a free and/or open-source text-segmentation algorithm for Chinese, I do understand it is a very difficult task to solve, as there are many ambiguities involed. I know there's google's API, but well it is rather a black-box, i.e. not many information of what it is doing are passing through. lschin The keyword text-segmentation for Chinese should be 中文分词 in Chinese. Good and active open-source text-segmentation algorithm : 盘古分词(Pan Gu Segment) : C# , Snapshot ik-analyzer : Java ICTCLAS : C/C++, Java, C# , Demo NlpBamboo : C, PHP, PostgreSQL HTTPCWS :

I want to extract the first word of a variable from a string. For example, take this input: <?php $myvalue = 'Test me more'; ?> The resultant output should be Test , which is the first word of the input. How can I do this? You can use the explode function as follows: $myvalue = 'Test me more'; $arr = explode(' ',trim($myvalue)); echo $arr[0]; // will print Test salathe There is a string function ( strtok ) which can be used to split a string into smaller strings ( tokens ) based on some separator(s). For the purposes of this thread, the first word (defined as anything before the first space
