PorterStemmer

public class PorterStemmer extends Object
Stemmer, implementing the Porter Stemming Algorithm The Stemmer class transforms a word into its root form. The input word can be provided a character at time (by calling add()), or at once by calling one of the various stem(something) methods.

    b = new char[INC];
    i = 0;
  
Methods Summary
public voidadd(char ch)
Add a character to the word being stemmed. When you are finished adding characters, you can call stem(void) to process the word.

    if (b.length <= i + EXTRA) {
      char[] new_b = new char[b.length+INC];
      for (int c = 0; c < b.length; c++)
        new_b[c] = b[c];
      b = new_b;
    }
    b[i++] = ch;
  
private final booleancons(int i)

    switch (b[i]) {
    case 'a": case 'e": case 'i": case 'o": case 'u":
      return false;
    case 'y":
      return (i==k0) ? true : !cons(i-1);
    default:
      return true;
    }
  
private final booleancvc(int i)

    if (i < k0+2 || !cons(i) || cons(i-1) || !cons(i-2))
      return false;
    else {
      int ch = b[i];
      if (ch == 'w" || ch == 'x" || ch == 'y") return false;
    }
    return true;
  
private final booleandoublec(int j)

    if (j < k0+1)
      return false;
    if (b[j] != b[j-1])
      return false;
    return cons(j);
  
private final booleanends(java.lang.String s)

    int l = s.length();
    int o = k-l+1;
    if (o < k0)
      return false;
    for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
      if (b[o+i] != s.charAt(i))
        return false;
    j = k-l;
    return true;
  
public char[]getResultBuffer()
Returns a reference to a character buffer containing the results of the stemming process. You also need to consult getResultLength() to determine the length of the result.

 return b; 
public intgetResultLength()
Returns the length of the word resulting from the stemming process.

 return i; 
private final intm()

    int n = 0;
    int i = k0;
    while(true) {
      if (i > j)
        return n;
      if (! cons(i))
        break;
      i++;
    }
    i++;
    while(true) {
      while(true) {
        if (i > j)
          return n;
        if (cons(i))
          break;
        i++;
      }
      i++;
      n++;
      while(true) {
        if (i > j)
          return n;
        if (! cons(i))
          break;
        i++;
      }
      i++;
    }
  
public static voidmain(java.lang.String[] args)
Test program for demonstrating the Stemmer. It reads a file and stems each word, writing the result to standard out. Usage: Stemmer file-name

    PorterStemmer s = new PorterStemmer();

    for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
      try {

      catch (IOException e) {

      }
    }
  
voidr(java.lang.String s)

 if (m() > 0) setto(s); 
public voidreset()
reset() resets the stemmer so it can stem another word. If you invoke the stemmer by calling add(char) and then stem(), you must call reset() before starting another word.

 i = 0; dirty = false; 
voidsetto(java.lang.String s)

    int l = s.length();
    int o = j+1;

public java.lang.Stringstem(java.lang.String s)
Stem a word provided as a String. Returns the result as a String.

    if (stem(s.toCharArray(), s.length()))
      return toString();
    else
      return s;
  
public booleanstem(char[] word)
Stem a word contained in a char[]. Returns true if the stemming process resulted in a word different from the input. You can retrieve the result with getResultLength()/getResultBuffer() or toString().

    return stem(word, word.length);
  
public booleanstem(char[] wordBuffer, int offset, int wordLen)
Stem a word contained in a portion of a char[] array. Returns true if the stemming process resulted in a word different from the input. You can retrieve the result with getResultLength()/getResultBuffer() or toString().

    reset();

    i = wordLen;
    return stem(0);
  
public booleanstem(char[] word, int wordLen)
Stem a word contained in a leading portion of a char[] array. Returns true if the stemming process resulted in a word different from the input. You can retrieve the result with getResultLength()/getResultBuffer() or toString().

    return stem(word, 0, wordLen);
  
public booleanstem()
Stem the word placed into the Stemmer buffer through calls to add(). Returns true if the stemming process resulted in a word different from the input. You can retrieve the result with getResultLength()/getResultBuffer() or toString().

    return stem(0);

    // Thanks to Ifigenia Vairelles for pointing this out.
