Abstract

Stemming is a process in in which different morphological variants of a word is transformed into its root form. A stemmer involves removing prefixes and suffixes of a word to reduce a word to its root form. This process is used in information retrieval systems and text applications in order to improve the efficiency of text retrieval.

Keywords: over stemming, under stemming, inflections, derivational analysis, rule based stemmer
