Discovering roots with the Porter stemming algorithm
Explore the Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique, stemming, with the Porter stemming algorithm. Learn about the different types of stemming and how its used in search engines and spell checking by using Buddha's text file for practical application. Stemming is used to reduce words to their root or base form, known as the "stem." This NLP technique involves removing suffixes and prefixes from words to normalize them, allowing different variations of the same word to be treated as equivalent.
