Stemming algorithms written in Python 3.
Snowball is a small string processing language for creating stemming
algorithms for use in Information Retrieval, plus a collection of
stemming algorithms implemented using it.
Snowball was originally designed and built by Martin Porter. Martin
retired from development in 2014 and Snowball is now maintained as a
community project. Martin originally chose the name Snowball as a
tribute to SNOBOL, the excellent string handling language from the
1960s. It now also serves as a metaphor for how the project grows by
gathering contributions over time.
