Feature: Paragraph Identification

[DaveJohnson8080]

Is there support for or any plan to support paragraph identification similar to Sections and Sentences?

Thanks!

Hi Dave, currently we don't have any paragraph detection. A naive regex-based approach would be relatively easy to add using basically the same approach for sections, but this would probably only be based on double newlines.

I've had ideas for unsupervised approaches for paragraph splitting but it would be experimental until we could verify it with manually annotated gold standards. I'll bring it up at one of our planning meetings.

Thanks, Ben!

FYI. We added our own paragraph identifications along the lines you mention above. So this is a lower priority item for our team. We can close the feature request unless you'd like to keep it.
