Abstract :
In this paper, we report on the design and implementation of a stemmer for the Farsi language, according to combination of Kazem Taghva´s method and improved Krovetz´s method. The first method removes the suffixes and prefixes according to the word´s structure. And the second method is based on saving the information in a Database. This paper reports a kind of combination of these methods. The results of our evaluation on a small Farsi document collection show a significant improvement in precision/recall.
