Porter Stemmer

This library provides an implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm, defined here: http://tartarus.org/martin/PorterStemmer/def.txt This implementation has not been tuned for high performance on large amounts of text. It is a simple (naive perhaps) implementation of the rules.

Command-line program:

To test out the library on the command-line:

    ./gradlew clean cliJar
    cat /path/to/file.txt | java -jar example/build/libs/example-all-1.0.0.jar 

Using the library:

The library is available on jcenter. To include the library in your project:

maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>ca.rmen</groupId>
  <artifactId>porter-stemmer</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

gradle:

compile 'ca.rmen:porter-stemmer:1.0.0'

To use the stemmer:

PorterStemmer porterStemmer = new PorterStemmer();
String stem = porterStemmer.stemWord("incorporated"); // returns "incorpor"
