Abstract | ||||
In this paper, we present a comprehensive evaluation of four Arabic stemmers, based on metrics for correctness, strength and similarity. Two data sets were used in this study. For correctness evaluation, we used a list of 8697 Arabic words grouped into 1606 conceptual classes. For similarity and strength evaluation, we used a list of 72,000 unique Arabic words. Conclusions about correctness, strength and similarity of the four Arabic stemming algorithms are reported. | ||||
