Bruteporter: a hybrid approach

Stemming fetches the main root word from the inflectional words called stem. Stem gives different meaning when suffix or prefix is added to it. The stem need not give perfect meaning. Lemmatization gives lemma from inflectional words. Lemma should give meaning that in the dictionary form. Natural Language processing, Information retrieval, Text mining are the areas which use the stemming as preprocessing step. Through stemming, the size of the document can be reduced and ambiguity is also removed. It makes the work easy for other process likes information retrieval, semantic analysis, text categorization etc. Though there is a need for linguistic improvements in the existing stemming algorithms, all these algorithms fail in some cases to give an exact Root word and are not able to handle informal verbs. Hence, Bruteporter Hybrid approach is proposed in order to improve the linguistic process of stemming in English Texts. It combines the Wordnet and Modified Porter Algorithm. A Wordnet is a lexical dictionary created by linguistics people. Modified porter algorithm has both suffix removal and suffix substitution functionality. This proposed approach can extract root word from both inflectional words and informal verbs. In this paper, Experiment is conducted on proposed algorithm and the accuracy is calculated.
