azstemmer 0.1.0

A stemming library for the Azerbaijani language

AzStemmer 📚

AzStemmer is a basic stemming library for Azerbaijani sentences. It is not highly effective but offers a simple way to stem Azerbaijani words, especially for cases where you need to reduce words to their root form. The stemmer uses a dictionary of root words and performs stemming based on that list.

Installation ⬇️

Use the package manager pip to install azstemmer.

pip install azstemmer

Usage ⚙️

from azstemmer import AzStemmer

# Initialize stemmer with the appropriate keyboard type
# Use 'az' for Azerbaijani text or 'en' if the text is typed using an English keyboard
stemmer = AzStemmer(keyboard="az") 

# Stem your string
stemmed_string = stemmer.stem("your_string")

Features 🧩

• Azerbaijani Stemming: Reduces Azerbaijani words to their root forms.
• English Keyboard Support: You can choose 'az' or 'en' for proper stemming based on the keyboard used for typing.
• Simple and Lightweight: A straightforward way to perform stemming without any advanced NLP models.

Known Issues or Limitations ❗

• As the stemming is based on a dictionary of words, special names (e.g., proper nouns) cannot be stemmed.
• Some words may not be stemmed correctly due to the limitations of the dictionary-based approach.
