Stemming algorithms
|

|
||||
PyStemmer 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".

PyStemmer provides algorithms for several (mainly european) languages, by

wrapping the libstemmer library from the Snowball project in a Python module.

It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for english:
|

although this has been superceded by an improved algorithm, the original
|
||||
algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval researchers wishing
|
||||
to reproduce results of earlier experiments.
