: Regarding stemmers, I ditched them altogether a long time ago in favor : of a dictionary of morphologies of all known words (for any given : language). A simple lookup of any word morphology thus produces the set, : including the correct stem.
Strictly speaking: you haven't "ditched" stemmers altogether -- you've ditched *algorithmic* stemmers and moved to a *dictionary* based stemmer -- but it's still a stemmer. (i just don't want people reading this thread to be confused about terminology) -Hoss
