    Lingua::Stem::UniNE - University of NeuchĂ˘tel stemmers

VERSION
    This document describes Lingua::Stem::UniNE v0.05.

SYNOPSIS
        use Lingua::Stem::UniNE;

        # create Bulgarian stemmer
        $stemmer = Lingua::Stem::UniNE-&gt;new(language =&gt; 'bg');

        # get stem for word
        $stem = $stemmer-&gt;stem($word);

        # get list of stems for list of words
        @stems = $stemmer-&gt;stem(@words);

DESCRIPTION
    This module contains a collection of stemmers for multiple languages
    based on stemming algorithms provided by Jacques Savoy of the University
    of NeuchĂ˘tel (UniNE). The languages currently implemented are Bulgarian,
    Czech, German, and Persian. Work is ongoing for Arabic, Bengali,
    Finnish, French, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Marathi,
    Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. The top priority is languages for which
    there are no stemmers available on CPAN.

  Attributes
    language
        The following language codes are currently supported.

            â”Śâ”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”¬â”€â”€â”€â”€â”
            â”‚ Bulgarian â”‚ bg â”‚
            â”‚ Czech     â”‚ cs â”‚
            â”‚ German    â”‚ de â”‚
            â”‚ Persian   â”‚ fa â”‚
            â””â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”´â”€â”€â”€â”€â”

        They are in the two-letter ISO 639-1 format and are case-insensitive
        but are always returned in lowercase when requested.

            # instantiate a stemmer object
            $stemmer = Lingua::Stem::UniNE-&gt;new(language =&gt; $language);

            # get current language
            $language = $stemmer-&gt;language;

            # change language
            $stemmer-&gt;language($language);

        Country codes such as "cz" for the Czech Republic are not supported,
        nor are IETF language tags such as "fa-AF" or "fa-IR".

    aggressive
        By default, if there are multiple strengths of stemmers, a light
        stemmer will be used. When "aggressive" is set to true, an
        aggressive stemmer will be used if available.

            $stemmer-&gt;aggressive(1);

        Czech and German have aggressive options.

  Methods
    stem
        Accepts a list of words, stems each word, and returns a list of
        stems. The list returned will always have the same number of
        elements in the same order as the list provided. When no stemming
        rules apply to a word, the original word is returned.

            @stems = $stemmer-&gt;stem(@words);

            # get the stem for a single word
            $stem = $stemmer-&gt;stem($word);

        The words should be provided as character strings and the stems are
        returned as character strings. Byte strings in arbitrary character
        encodings are intentionally not supported.

    languages
        Returns a list of supported two-letter language codes using
        lowercase letters.

            # object method
            @languages = $stemmer-&gt;languages;

            # class method
            @languages = Lingua::Stem::UniNE-&gt;languages;

SEE ALSO
    Lingua::Stem::Any provides a unified interface to any stemmer on CPAN,
    including this module, as well as additional features like
    normalization, casefolding, and in-place stemming.

    Lingua::Stem::Snowball provides alternate stemming algorithms for
    Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian,
    Spanish, and Swedish, as well as other languages.

    These stemming algorithms are based on definition and implementations by
    Jacques Savoy and Ljiljana Dolamic of the University of NeuchĂ˘tel and
    provided at IR Multilingual Resources at UniNE
