What does stemming mean?
The process of reducing a word to its base or root form, often used in natural language processing and text analysis. This can involve removing suffixes and prefixes to identify the core meaning of a word.
Example
"The algorithm used stemming to reduce the words 'running', 'runs', and 'runner' to their base form 'run'."
