Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval Snowball provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a “stemmed” form of a word. This is a form with most of the common morphological endings removed; hopefully representing a common linguistic base form. This is most useful in building search engines and information retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming enabled should be able to find a document containing “cycling” given the query “cycles”. Snowball provides algorithms for several (mainly European) languages. It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for English the original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments.
