# wtpsplit🪓
# Segment any Text: Robust, Efficient and Adaptable Sentence Segmentation

Code for the paper [Where's the Point? Self-Supervised Multilingual Punctuation-Agnostic Sentence Segmentation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18893) with Jonas Pfeiffer and Ivan Vulić, accepted at ACL 2023.
Code for the paper [Segment Any Text: A Universal Approach for Robust, Efficient and Adaptable Sentence Segmentation](TODO) by Markus Frohmann, Igor Sterner, Benjamin Minixhofer, Ivan Vulić and Markus Schedl.

This repository contains `segment-any-text`, a package for robust, efficient and adaptable sentence segmentation across 85 languages, as well as the code and configs to reproduce the **state-of-the-art** results in 8 distinct corpora and 85 languages demonstrated in our paper.

![System Figure](./system-fig.png)

This repository contains `wtpsplit`, a package for robust and adaptible sentence segmentation across 85 languages, as well as the code and configs to reproduce the experiments in the paper.

## Installation

```bash
pip install wtpsplit
pip install segment-any-text
```

## Usage

```python
from wtpsplit import WtP
from sat import SaT

wtp = WtP("wtp-bert-mini")
sat = SaT("sat-3l")
# optionally run on GPU for better performance
# also supports TPUs via e.g. wtp.to("xla:0"), in that case pass `pad_last_batch=True` to wtp.split
wtp.half().to("cuda")
sat.half().to("cuda")

# returns ["This is a test", "This is another test."]
wtp.split("This is a test This is another test.")
sat.split("This is a test This is another test.")

# returns an iterator yielding a lists of sentences for every text
# do this instead of calling wtp.split on every text individually for much better performance
wtp.split(["This is a test This is another test.", "And some more texts..."])

# if you're using a model with language adapters, also pass a `lang_code`
wtp.split("This is a test This is another test.", lang_code="en")

# depending on your usecase, adaptation to e.g. the Universal Dependencies style may give better results
# this always requires a language code
wtp.split("This is a test This is another test.", lang_code="en", style="ud")
```

## ONNX support
sat.split(["This is a test This is another test.", "And some more texts..."])

You can enable ONNX inference for the `wtp-bert-*` models:
# use our '-sm' models for general sentence segmentation tasks
sat_sm = SaT("sat-3l-sm")
# this will be especially better for noisy text
sat.split("this is a test this is another test")
# returns ["this is a test", "this is another test"]

```python
wtp = WtP("wtp-bert-mini", onnx_providers=["CUDAExecutionProvider"])
```

This requires `onnxruntime` and `onnxruntime-gpu`. It should give a good speedup on GPU!

```python
>>> from wtpsplit import WtP
>>> texts = ["This is a sentence. This is another sentence."] * 1000

# PyTorch GPU
>>> model = WtP("wtp-bert-mini")
>>> model.half().to("cuda")
>>> %timeit list(model.split(texts))
272 ms ± 16.1 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

# onnxruntime GPU
>>> model = WtP("wtp-bert-mini", ort_providers=["CUDAExecutionProvider"])
>>> %timeit list(model.split(texts))
198 ms ± 1.36 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
# use trained lora modules for strong adaptation to language & domain/style
sat.split("This is a test This is another test.", lang_code="en", style="ud")
```

Notes:
- The `wtp-canine-*` models are currently not supported with ONNX because the pooling done by CANINE is not trivial to export. Ideas to solve this are very welcome!
- This does not work with Python 3.7 because `onnxruntime` does not support the opset we need for py37.


## Available Models

Pro tips: I recommend `wtp-bert-mini` for speed-sensitive applications, otherwise `wtp-canine-s-12l`. The `*-no-adapters` models provide a good tradeoff between speed and performance. You should *probably not* use `wtp-bert-tiny`.

If you need a general sentence segmentation model, use `-sm` models (e.g., `sat-3l-sm`)
For speed-sensitive applications, we recommend 3-layer models (`sat-3l` and `sat-3l-sm`). They provide a good tradeoff between speen and performance.
The best (and largest) models are our 12-layer models: `sat-12l` and `sat-12l-sm`.

Note that this library also supports previous [`WtP`](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18893) models.
You can use them in essentially the same way as `SaT`models:

### Paragraph Segmentation
```python
from sat import WtP

wtp = WtP("wtp-bert-mini")
# similar functionality as for SaT models
wtp.split("This is a test This is another test.")
```

For more details on WtP and reproduction details, see the `wtpsplit` branch.

Since WtP models are trained to predict newline probablity, they can segment text into paragraphs in addition to sentences.
## Paragraph Segmentation

Since SaT are trained to predict newline probablity, they can segment text into paragraphs in addition to sentences.

```python
# returns a list of paragraphs, each containing a list of sentences
# adjust the paragraph threshold via the `paragraph_threshold` argument.
wtp.split(text, do_paragraph_segmentation=True)
sat.split(text, do_paragraph_segmentation=True)
```

## Adaptation


SaT can be domain- and style-adapted via LoRA. We provide trained LoRA modules for Universal Dependencies, OPUS100, Ersatz, and TED (i.e., ASR-style transcribed speecjes) sentence styles in 81 languages for `sat-3l`and `sat-12l`. Additionally, we provide LoRA modules for legal documents (laws and judgements) in 6 languages, code-switching in 4 language pairs, and tweets in 3 languages. For details, we refer to our [paper](TODO).

We also provided verse segmentation modules for 16 genres for `sat-12-no-limited-lookahead`.

Load LoRA modules like this:
```python

# requires both lang_code and style_or_domain
# for available ones, check the <model_repository>/loras folder
sat_lora = SaT("sat-3l", style_or_domain="ud", language="en")
sat_lora.split("Hello this is a test But this is different now Now the next one starts looool")
# now for a highly distinct domain
sat_lora_distinct = SaT("sat-12l", style_or_domain="code-switching", language="es-en")
sat_lora_distinct.split("in the morning over there cada vez que yo decía algo él me decía algo")
```

### Adaptation
You can also freely adapt the segmentation threshold, with a higher threshold leading to more conservative segmentation:
```python

sat.split("This is a test This is another test.", threshold=0.4)
# works similarly for lora; but thresholds are higher
sat_lora.split("Hello this is a test But this is different now Now the next one starts looool", threshold=0.7)
```
<!--
#### WtP Adaptation
WtP can adapt to the Universal Dependencies, OPUS100 or Ersatz corpus segmentation style in many languages by punctuation adaptation (*preferred*) or threshold adaptation.
#### Punctuation Adaptation
##### Punctuation Adaptation
```python
# this requires a `lang_code`
# check the paper or `wtp.mixtures` for supported styles

```

### Adapt to your own corpus via LoRA
Our models can be efficiently adapted via LoRA in a powerful way. Only 10-100 training segmented training sentences should already improve performance considerably. To do so:

Clone the repository and install requirements:

```
git clone https://github.com/segment-any-text/segment-any-text
cd segment-any-text
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd adapters
pip install -e .
cd ..
```

Create data in this format:
```python
import torch

torch.save(
{
"language_code": {
"sentence": {
"dummy-dataset": {
"meta": {
"train_data": ["train sentence 1", "train sentence 2"],
},
"data": [
"test sentence 1",
"test sentence 2",
]
}
}
}
},
"dummy-dataset.pth"
)
```

Create/adapt config; provide base model via `model_name_or_path` and training data .pth via ' text_path`:


`configs/lora/lora_dummy_config.json`

Train LoRA:
```
python3 wtpsplit/train/train_lora.py configs/lora/lora_dummy_config.json
```

Once training is done, provide your saved module's path to SaT:
```python

sat_lora_adapted = SaT("model-used", lora_path="dummy_lora_path")
sat_lora_adapted.split("Some domains-specific or styled text")
```

Adjust the dataset name, language and model in the above to your needs.

Prior sentence segmentation tools either rely on punctuation or require a considerable amount of sentence-segmented training data: both central assumptions might fail when porting sentence segmenters to diverse languages on a massive scale. In this work, we thus introduce a multilingual punctuation-agnostic sentence segmentation method, currently covering 85 languages, trained in a self-supervised fashion on unsegmented text, by making use of newline characters which implicitly perform segmentation into paragraphs. We further propose an approach that adapts our method to the segmentation in a given corpus by using only a small number (64-256) of sentence-segmented examples. The main results indicate that our method outperforms all the prior best sentence-segmentation tools by an average of 6.1{\%} F1 points. Furthermore, we demonstrate that proper sentence segmentation has a point: the use of a (powerful) sentence segmenter makes a considerable difference for a downstream application such as machine translation (MT). By using our method to match sentence segmentation to the segmentation used during training of MT models, we achieve an average improvement of 2.3 BLEU points over the best prior segmentation tool, as well as massive gains over a trivial segmenter that splits text into equally-sized blocks.",
