Mini toolsDefinition
A text normalization technique that reduces words to their root or base form by removing suffixes.
Detailed Explanation
Stemming applies simple rules to strip suffixes from words, potentially resulting in non-dictionary words. For example, running becomes run, and connection becomes connect. While faster than lemmatization, it can be less accurate as it doesn't consider word context or part of speech.
Use Cases
Search engine optimization, text classification, document indexing, information retrieval systems
