Pretrained Punkt Models -- Jan Strunk (New version trained after issues 313 and 514 had been corrected)
Most models were prepared using the test corpora from Kiss and Strunk (2006). Additional models have
been contributed by various people using NLTK for sentence boundary detection.
For information about how to use these models, please confer the tokenization HOWTO:
http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/howto/tokenize.html
and chapter 3.8 of the NLTK book:
http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/book/ch03.html#sec-segmentation
There are pretrained tokenizers for the following languages:
