Stemmers are based upon the written and not the spoken form of the language. Word stemming is one of the most significant factors that affect the performance of a Natural Language Processing (NLP) application such as Information Retrieval (IR) system, part of speech tagging, machine translation system and syntactic parsing, text summarization. A stemmer converts morphologically identical words to root word without performing analysis of that term. Sometimes, if we remove suffix from the word then the word may not be a proper Hindi word. So, to overcome this problem, a stemming algorithm is proposed that uses hybrid approach (combination of Brute force approach, suffix stripping approach and suffix substitution). ER -
