Abstract

We employ Automorphology, an MDL-based algorithm that determines the suffixes present in a language-sample with no prior knowledge of the language in question, and describe our experiments on the usefulness of this approach for Information Retrieval, employing this stemmer in a SMARTbased IR engine.
