Snowball

Snowball is a software library designed to efficiently process and analyze large volumes of text data. It simplifies the task of stemming—reducing words to their root form—by providing algorithms that handle various languages. This helps in tasks like search or text mining, where understanding different word forms as one base word improves accuracy. Snowball is known for its speed, flexibility, and support for multiple languages, making it a valuable tool for developers working with extensive textual datasets.
