Modified stemmer for a medical system — evaluated using predefined metrics

This study explores the importance of stemmers, its strength, and similarity metrics with newly defined stemmer called modified stemmer and also with predefined stemmers or stemming algorithms. This paper also evaluates the performance using metrics such as SWF (Stemmed Word's Factor), WCSF (Word's Correct Stemmed Factor), and WACF (Word's Average Conflation Factor). When compared with other stemmers, the precision of proper root form seems to be good with paice/husk and with modified stemmers.
