How do I do word Stemming or Lemmatization?

by

If you know Python, The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) has a very powerful lemmatizer that makes use of WordNet.

Note that if you are using this lemmatizer for the first time, you must download the corpus prior to using it. This can be done by:

>>> import nltk
>>> nltk.download('wordnet')

You only have to do this once. Assuming that you have now downloaded the corpus, it works like this:

>>> from nltk.stem.wordnet import WordNetLemmatizer
>>> lmtzr = WordNetLemmatizer()
>>> lmtzr.lemmatize('cars')
'car'
>>> lmtzr.lemmatize('feet')
'foot'
>>> lmtzr.lemmatize('people')
'people'
>>> lmtzr.lemmatize('fantasized','v')
'fantasize'

There are other lemmatizers in the nltk.stem module, but I haven’t tried them myself.
