  • Abstract
    Stemming or lemmatization method is a key step in English document processing. Based on three clustering algorithms and two evaluation functions, the paper makes a comprehensive study about two stemming algorithms and one lemmatization algorithm. According to the experimental result, it shows that the performance is not remarkable, compared with Snowball stemmer and Stanford lemmatization, Porter stemmer can make a better performance in entropy and purity.
