Stemmer for Serbian language
This work addresses a domain-specific need in natural language processing for Serbian, but it is incremental as it applies an existing stemming method to a new language.
The authors tackled the problem of stemming for the highly inflectional Serbian language by developing a suffix stripping stemmer, achieving a functional tool for morphological reduction.
In linguistic morphology and information retrieval, stemming is the process for reducing inflected (or sometimes derived) words to their stem, base or root form; generally a written word form. In this work is presented suffix stripping stemmer for Serbian language, one of the highly inflectional languages.
