spaCy Sentencizer vs yasbd: Why 98.9% Accuracy Matters
8 min read
yasbd, a pure-Python rule-based sentence boundary detector, achieves 98.9% accuracy on a 92-case English benchmark versus spaCy's Sentencizer at 55.4%. It integrates as a drop-in spaCy component with a one-function registration API. The Sentencizer lacks abbreviation awareness, failing on compound abbreviations, URLs, and non-English text.
