NAME
Lingua::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
