<Infobox title="Changed in v2.0" variant="warning">
|
|
|
|
As of spaCy v2.0, the `Token.sent_start` property is deprecated and has been
|
|
replaced with `Token.is_sent_start`, which returns a boolean value instead of a
|
|
misleading `0` for `False` and `1` for `True`. It also now returns `None` if the
|
|
answer is unknown, and fixes a quirk in the old logic that would always set the
|
|
property to `0` for the first word of the document.
|
|
|
|
```diff
|

- assert doc[4].sent_start == 1
