Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval Snowball
|
|
provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a "stemmed"
|
|
form of a word. This is a form with most of the common morphological
|
|
endings removed; hopefully representing a common linguistic base form.
|
|
This is most useful in building search engines and information
|
|
retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming enabled should
|
|
be able to find a document containing "cycling" given the query
|
|
"cycles".
