Snowball is a small string processing language for creating stemming algorithms
|
|
for use in Information Retrieval, plus a collection of stemming algorithms
|
|
implemented using it.
|
|
|
|
Stemming maps different forms of the same word to a common "stem" - for example,
|
|
the English stemmer maps connection, connections, connective, connected, and
|
|
connecting to connect. So a searching for connected would also find documents
|
|
which only have the other forms.
