Abstract

Stemming algorithm is a procedure that attempts to map all the derived forms of a word to a single root, the stem. It is widely used in various applications with the main motive of enhancing the recall factor. Apart from English, researches on developing stemmers for both the native and the regional languages are also being carried out. In this paper, we present a stemmer for Tamil, a Dravidian language. Our stemmer effectiveness is 84.32%.
