Training a neural network to perform SBD with specialized text

When there are no specialized models for SBD, it becomes necessary to train a new model. In this recipe, we will illustrate how this can be performed using the OpenNLP API. We will create a set of training data and use it to train a neural network model. The model will then be tested using the OpenNLP technique illustrated in the Using OpenNLP to perform SBD recipe.

Getting ready

To prepare, we need to do the following:

1. Create new Maven project
2. Add the following dependency to the POM file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.opennlp</groupId>
    <artifactId>opennlp-tools</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.0</version>
</dependency...
