Package: libstemmer0d Source: snowball (2.2.0-4) Version: 2.2.0-4+b2 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Stefano Rivera Installed-Size: 819 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) Section: libs Priority: optional Multi-Arch: same Homepage: https://snowballstem.org/ Description: 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 It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for English: although this has been superseded by an improved algorithm, the original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments.
