Lingua::Stem::Fr(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Lingua::Stem::Fr(3)

Lingua::Stem::Fr - Perl French Stemming

    use Lingua::Stem::Fr;

    my $stems = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem({ -words => $word_list_reference,
                                         -locale => 'fr',
                                         -exceptions => $exceptions_hash,
                                      });

    my $stem = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem_word( $word );

This module use the a modified version of the Porter Stemming Algorithm to return a stemmed words.

The algorithm is implemented as described in:

http://snowball.tartarus.org/french/stemmer.html

with some improvement.

The code is carefully crafted to work in conjunction with the Lingua::Stem module by Benjamin Franz. This french version is based too, on the work of Aldo Calpini (Italian Version)

  • stem({ -words => \@words, -locale => 'fr', -exceptions => \%exceptions }); Stems a list of passed words. Returns an anonymous list reference to the stemmed words.

    Example:

        my $stemmed_words = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem({ -words => \@words,
                                                     -locale => 'fr',
                                                     -exceptions => \%exceptions,
                                                  });
        
  • stem_word( $word );

    Stems a single word and returns the stem directly.

    Example:

        my $stem = Lingua::Stem::Fr::stem_word( $word );
        
  • stem_caching({ -level => 0|1|2 });

    Sets the level of stem caching.

    '0' means 'no caching'. This is the default level.

    '1' means 'cache per run'. This caches stemming results during a single call to 'stem'.

    '2' means 'cache indefinitely'. This caches stemming results until either the process exits or the 'clear_stem_cache' method is called.

  • clear_stem_cache;

    Clears the cache of stemmed words
