stemmer
A fast implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm for English word normalization in natural language processing.
What is stemmer?
Stemmer is a JavaScript implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm that converts English words to their base or root form. It takes words like 'considerations' and reduces them to 'consider', enabling natural language processing systems to treat different word forms as the same term. This is particularly useful for search engines, text analysis, and information retrieval systems.
Developers working on natural language processing applications, search engines, text analysis tools, or information retrieval systems who need to normalize English text. This includes those building search functionality, content analysis platforms, or linguistic research tools.
Stemmer provides a fast, reliable, and minimal implementation of the Porter algorithm with excellent cross-platform compatibility. Developers choose it for its simplicity, performance, and TypeScript support compared to more complex NLP libraries.
