Broader concept

Example

  • Stemming is done by WordNet's morphological analyzer. (Das & Bandyopadhyay, 2010)
  • Stemming was carried out with Snowball (Porter 2001). (Formiga, Costa-jussà, Mariño, Fonollosa, Barrón-Cedeño & Màrquez, 2013)
  • Stemming was not applied because the model learns similar representations for words of the same stem when the data suggests it. (Maas, Daly, Pham, Huang, Ng & Potts, 2011)
