nltk.tokenize.BlanklineTokenizer

class nltk.tokenize.BlanklineTokenizer

Bases: RegexpTokenizer

Tokenize a string, treating any sequence of blank lines as a delimiter. Blank lines are defined as lines containing no characters, except for space or tab characters.

__init__()

span_tokenize(text)

Identify the tokens using integer offsets (start_i, end_i), where s[start_i:end_i] is the corresponding token.

Return type

Iterator[Tuple[int, int]]

span_tokenize_sents(strings: List[str]) → Iterator[List[Tuple[int, int]]]

Apply self.span_tokenize() to each element of strings. I.e.:

return [self.span_tokenize(s) for s in strings]

Yield

List[Tuple[int, int]]

Parameters

strings (List[str]) –

Return type

Iterator[List[Tuple[int, int]]]

tokenize(text)

Return a tokenized copy of s.

Return type

List[str]

tokenize_sents(strings: List[str]) → List[List[str]]

Apply self.tokenize() to each element of strings. I.e.:

return [self.tokenize(s) for s in strings]

Return type

List[List[str]]

Parameters

strings (List[str]) –
