Abstract

We developed algorithmic stemmers for Hungarian and used them for the ad-hoc monolingual task for CLEF 2005. Our goal was to determine what degree of stemming is the most effective. Although on average the stemmers did not perform as well as the the best n-gram, we found that stemming over a broad range of suffixes especially on nouns is highly useful.
