When initializing a
Sentence
object, withuse_tokenizer=True
(set by default), it triggered an import of theSegtokTokenizer
in the Sentence constructor. According to this thread, there is a cost of re-importing modules and since we often create large numbers ofSentence
objects, this is unnecessary overhead.This PR makes the import global. To do this, it splits up the
flair.tokenization
module into tokenization (for all tokenizers) and splitter (for all sentence splitters). This way, there is no longer an import offlair.data
inflair.tokenization
.
