Classification Performance of the Different Stemming Methods

Abstract

Saving textual data and accessing them in many fields have become one of the basic problems nowadays. The usage of these data effectively is directly related to the development of storage and access tools that will be used. Therefore, software programs using different methods have been developed. One of the points that need to be taken into account is data classifying. Because using raw data in these classifying processes is harmful, finding the stem of the texts is useful. In this study, the successes of two different stemming algorithms in the text classifying are comparatively examined.

Keywords

• Text Processing; Classification; kNN; Stemming.
