Lingua::Stem::Fr(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Lingua::Stem::Fr(3)NAMELingua::Stem::Fr - Perl French Stemming
SYNOPSIS
use Lingua::Stem::Fr;
my $stems = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem({ -words => $word_list_reference,
-locale => 'fr',
-exceptions => $exceptions_hash,
});
my $stem = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem_word( $word );
DESCRIPTION
This module use the a modified version of the Porter Stemming Algorithm
to return a stemmed words.
The algorithm is implemented as described in:
http://snowball.tartarus.org/french/stemmer.html
with some improvement.
The code is carefully crafted to work in conjunction with the
Lingua::Stem module by Benjamin Franz. This french version is based
too, on the work of Aldo Calpini (Italian Version)
METHODS
· stem({ -words => \@words, -locale => 'fr', -exceptions =>
\%exceptions }); Stems a list of passed words. Returns an anonymous
list reference to the stemmed words.
Example:
my $stemmed_words = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem({ -words => \@words,
-locale => 'fr',
-exceptions => \%exceptions,
});
· stem_word( $word );
Stems a single word and returns the stem directly.
Example:
my $stem = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem_word( $word );
· stem_caching({ -level => 0|1|2 });
Sets the level of stem caching.
'0' means 'no caching'. This is the default level.
'1' means 'cache per run'. This caches stemming results during a
single
call to 'stem'.
'2' means 'cache indefinitely'. This caches stemming results until
either the process exits or the 'clear_stem_cache' method is
called.
· clear_stem_cache;
Clears the cache of stemmed words
