Abstract

Sentence tokenization is the foundational step in natural language processing to analyze the sentence. Apart from others, main causes which make the sentence tokenization difficult are quotation marks and the multipurpose usage of punctuation marks especially dot “.”. In this paper, a framework has proposed for sentence tokenization for running text in Gujarati language using statistical unsupervised machine learning approach and rule-based approach.
