Day 4 of learning AI/ML as a beginner. Topic: text preprocessing stemming using NLTK. I have learned about tokenization and now I am learning about text preprocessing in ML. Text preprocessing is cleaning up of raw text (raw text is the one entered by the user) to make it usable in Natural Language processing (NLP) and in Machine Learning (ML) models. Stemming is the process of removing prefix and suffix from a word in order to achieve its root word. For example: eating consists of a suffix "ing" and its root word is eat. We use stemming to group similar meanings words and to reduce the size of vocabulary (unique word in a document or corpus). Stemming can be achieved using various libraries in Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK). Such libraries includes: 1. PorterStemmer: this is one of the oldest and most popular stemmer used in removing common suffix however it's performance decline as the level of words increases (sometimes this messes up the words and produce results which may not be real). 2. RegexpStemmer: this is a very simple yet a powerful rule based stemmer. This uses regular expression's rules to identify the prefix and suffix in a word and removes it in order to find the root word. This is flexible and better than PorterStemmer however it also makes some mistakes. 3. SnowballStemmer a.k.a Porter2 Stemmer: as the name suggests this is an improved version of PorterStemmer. This is more consistent and accurate as compare to PorterStemmer and also supports multiple languages. I welcome all the questions and suggestions which will help me understand these concepts more clearly and develop a deeper understanding. Also here's my code and it's result.
