Explore how to perform stemming in R with the tidytext package by leveraging SnowballC and Hunspell. Understand tokenization, stop word removal, and how stemming algorithms simplify words for natural language processing tasks.

tidytext relies on other packages for stemming:

Stemming with SnowballC

The tidytext package doesn’t have specific stemming functions and instead relies on SnowballC and standard tidyverse commands.

The SnowballC package in R is an interface to the Snowball stemming library, which is a collection of algorithms for various languages. These algorithms were developed by Martin Porter and are widely used in natural language processing tasks.

SnowballC includes functions ...
