Package stem
source code
Interfaces used to remove morphological affixes from words, leaving
only the word stem. Stemming algorithms aim to remove those affixes
required for eg. grammatical role, tense, derivational morphology leaving
only the stem of the word. This is a difficult problem due to irregular
words (eg. common verbs in English), complicated morphological rules, and
part-of-speech and sense ambiguities (eg. ceil-
is not the
stem of ceiling
).
