Stemming

Stemming is a process used in language processing that reduces words to their root form or base. For example, "running," "runner," and "ran" might all be simplified to "run." This helps computers understand and analyze text more effectively by grouping similar words together, even if they have different endings or forms. It’s like trimming words to their core so that comparisons and searches can be more efficient and meaningful. Stemming is commonly used in search engines, information retrieval, and natural language processing applications.
