Stemmingaccuratesse
Stemmingaccuratesse is a term used in natural language processing to describe the accuracy with which a stemming process converts related word forms to a single base form, or stem. The concept serves as both a descriptive property of a stemmer and, in some discussions, a practical evaluation criterion. In measurement terms, stemmingaccuratesse is typically assessed by comparing the stemmed output to a gold standard for a corpus. Common metrics include precision (the proportion of produced stems that are correct), recall (the proportion of correct stems that were produced), and the F1 score that balances the two. A high stemmingaccuratesse implies that the stemmer reduces inflected forms without stripping away distinguishing information or conflating distinct words.
Two classic error modes affect stemmingaccuratesse: over-stemming, where unrelated words are conflated to the same stem,
In practice, stemmingaccuratesse is juxtaposed with lemmatization in NLP pipelines. While lemmatization aims at a linguistically
