Package edu.northwestern.at.utils.corpuslinguistics.textsegmenter Description

Text Segmentation.

Text Segmentation attempts to determine boundaries between topics in long documents by dividing the document text into text segments. Each segment comprises a consecutive sequence of sentences or paragraphs sharing a coherent topic.

All MorphAdorner segmenters must implement the TextSegmenter interface. The TextSegmenterFactory provides the mechanism for instantiating a default or specified instance of a segmenter implementation.

MorphAdorner includes two text segmenters, both based upon code written by Freddy Choi.

• C99, created by Freddy Choi.
• TextTiler, created by Marti Hearst.
