Stemmer

This is a mirror of the snowball stemmer bindings for Go from bitbucket.org/tebeka/snowball by Miki Tebeka. The mirror was made on 2014-07-25, with the last update by Miki on 2013-07-03. I have copied it here so I don't lose it, just in case, since it is very useful for my own Go Classifier. I've also added clearer usage instructions in this readme to make it easier to understand the usage.

Installation

This isn't the only set of C bindings for Go around, but I like this version because it includes all of the C files in the package. No messing around. You can import it with:

go get github.com/AlasdairF/Stemmer

or

go get bitbucket.org/tebeka/snowball

Stemmer Languages Included

danish
dutch
english
finnish
french
german
hungarian
italian
norwegian
porter
portuguese
romanian
russian
spanish
swedish
turkish

Note that porter is an older version of the english stemmer. You should use english instead.

Usage

Note that the strings you are stemming must not be in CAPITALS, though it is OK if the first letter is Capitalized. Only strings are accepted, not []byte.

english, err := snowball.New(`english`)
if err!=nil {
    panic(err)
}
w := english.Stem(`testing`)
fmt.Println(`testing =`,w)
// testing = test
