[Snowball-discuss] Error in the vocabulary for Italian stemmer?

[Peter Stahl]

Hi Martin,

thanks, my port of the Romanian stemmer is now working properly.  Do you know the Natural Language Toolkit (http://www.nltk.org)? It's a collection of Python modules which can be used for natural language processing. Everyone is allowed to contribute something. As NLTK has been helping me a lot during my studies, I wanted to give something back and port your stemmers to Python. I started a discussion about it here: http://groups.google.com/group/nltk-dev/browse_thread/thread/6098341c1ac4b7a3

If NLTK's people don't mind, then I don't mind to make the stemmers available to you, too. I'm going to ask them about it.


Have a nice weekend,
Peter
