Hello -
I asked in the Icon group mailing list about the Porter stemming algorithm
but as there was no response I wrote a very rough one of my own. The Porter
stemming algorithm is available on the Web in C, Perl and Java codings. For
my purposes (medical terms) I have not been very impressed with its
performance, at least in my implementation, but I am probably asking it to
do things it was not meant for. I have also been looking for stem
dictionaries and the like, to no avail. Possibly there are such things at
prices suitable for corporate expense accounts.
I have been taking some interest in Snobol. It seems the company making the
SPITBOL implementation can ask a four-figure price for it, a fact which
intrigues me, when the more sophisticated language Icon is free. It makes me
think that must be where the action is, rather than with Icon. However,
there is not much going on in the Snobol mailing list either.
Regards
_John Sampson_
