Overview of this book

If you are looking to build data science models that are good for production, Java has come to the rescue. With the aid of strong libraries such as MLlib, Weka, DL4j, and more, you can efficiently perform all the data science tasks you need to. This unique book provides modern recipes to solve your common and not-so-common data science-related problems. We start with recipes to help you obtain, clean, index, and search data. Then you will learn a variety of techniques to analyze, learn from, and retrieve information from data. You will also understand how to handle big data, learn deeply from data, and visualize data. Finally, you will work through unique recipes that solve your problems while taking data science to production, writing distributed data science applications, and much more - things that will come in handy at work.

Preface

Detecting sentences using Java


In this recipe, we will see how we can detect sentences so that we can use them for further analysis. Sentences are a very important text unit for data scientists to experiment different routing exercises, such as classification. To detect sentences from texts, we will be using Java's BreakIterator class.

Getting ready

Go to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/BreakIterator.html and see the examples. This will give you an idea on the usage of a break iterator.

How to do it...

As a test for this recipe's code, we will use two sentences that can create confusion to many regular-expression-based solutions. The two sentences for test are: My name is Rushdi Shams. You can use Dr. before my name as I have a PhD. but I am a bit shy to use it. Interestingly, we will see that Java's BreakIterator class handles them with great efficiency.

Create a method that takes the test string as argument.
