Abstract

We present a general suffix-based method for construction of stemmers and lemmatizers for highly inflectional languages with only sparse resources. The process is directly implementable with described efficient design and it is evaluated on a construction of a stemmer for the Serbian language. The evaluation on real data has shown an accuracy of 79%.
