Re: Stemmer Implementation Strategy - feedback?

I would suggest you to have a look at Egothor stemmer (http://www.egothor.org/book/bk01ch01s06.html), can be trained rather easily (if your only use of "roots" is for searching) I have only heard of it as a good thing, never tried it On Aug 4, 2006, at 1:29 PM, Marios Skounakis wrote: > > > >

Hi, I have test some stemmer algorithms in my application. However, i think we'd better writer a weaker algorithm. I mean, the Porter and some other algorithms are too strong. maybe an algorithm which can convert plural to single noun is enough. On 2/14/06, Yilmazel, Sibel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wro

Re: Stemmer algorithms
