Python Question
Arabic stemmer doesn't work for sentences
I have python 2.7 and i installed this , I have this code :
from snowballstemmer import stemmer
ar_stemmer = stemmer("arabic")
stem = ar_stemmer.stemWord(u"مكتبة لمعالجةالكلمات العربية وتجذيعها ")
print stem
When i run it, i get the same sentence without stem مكتبة لمعالجة الكلمات العربية وتجذيعها , so what should i change ?
Answer
Split the sentence on words like this:
from snowballstemmer import stemmer
ar_stemmer = stemmer("arabic")
sentence = u"مكتبة لمعالجة الكلمات العربية وتجذيعها"
for word in sentence.split(" "):
stem = ar_stemmer.stemWord(word)
print stem
