Python implementations of the Porter, Porter2, Paice-Husk, and Lovins stemming
|
|
algorithms for English. These implementations are straightforward and
|
|
efficient, unlike some Python versions of the same algorithms available on the
|
|
Web. This package is an extraction of the stemming code included in the Whoosh
|
|
search engine.
|
|
|
|
Note that these are *pure Python* implementations. Python wrappers for, e.g.
|
|
the Snoball stemmers and the C implementation of the Porter stemmer are
|
|
available on PyPI and will be faster if using compiled code is an option for
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
Stemming algorithms attempt to automatically remove suffixes (and in some
|
|
cases prefixes) in order to find the "root word" or stem of a given word. This
|
|
is useful in various natural language processing scenarios, such as search.
|
|
|
|
In general ``porter2`` is the best overall stemming algorithm, but not
|
|
necessarily the fastest or most aggressive.
