  td_sentence_extractor_mle (
      data = NULL,
      text.column = NULL,
      accumulate = NULL,
      data.sequence.column = NULL,
      data.order.column = NULL
  )

Arguments

data	Required Argument. Specifies the input tbl_teradata that contains the input texts.
data.order.column	Optional Argument. Specifies Order By columns for "data". Values to this argument can be provided as a vector, if multiple columns are used for ordering. Types: character OR vector of Strings (character)
text.column	Required Argument. Specifies the name of the input column that contains the text from which to extract sentences. Types: character
accumulate	Optional Argument. Specifies the names of the input columns to copy to the output tbl_teradata. Types: character OR vector of Strings (character)

Named list member can be referenced directly with the "$" operator using name: result.

Examples

  
    # Get the current context/connection.
    con <- td_get_context()$connection
    
    # Load example data.
    loadExampleData("sentenceextractor_example", "paragraphs_input")
    
    # Create object(s) of class "tbl_teradata".
    paragraphs_input <- tbl(con, "paragraphs_input")
    
    # Example 1 - Extract sentences in the column named 'paratext'.
    td_sentence_extractor_out <- td_sentence_extractor_mle(data = paragraphs_input,
                                                       text.column = "paratext",
                                                       accumulate = c("paraid", "paratopic")
                                                       )
