A grad student asks (name omitted):
Dear Dr. Garcia,
I’m interested in developing a Porter Stemmer for the Irish language.
Would it be possible to send me your lecture notes for Porter Stemmer
development from your graduate course?I am doing an MSc thesis on developing a search engine for TEI marked up
multilingual texts and hope to use Apache Lucene as a basis.Thanks for any help,

Thank you for reading this blog and for emailing me, but I normally don’t release lecture notes. However, the lecture was based on Martin Porter’s site, which can be accessed by visiting the following link:
http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/
You might also want to check the Porter2 Stemmer:

For stemmers in other languages, check the Snowball site:

The great thing about the Porter stemmer is that it has been written in many programming flavors and languages.
