[Corpora-List] Korean and Japanese stemming

[Pontus Stenetorp]

Dear Stefan (and everyone else),

To the best of my knowledge there is no widely adopted stemming
algorithm for Japanese, by intuition (dangerous) it does seem that
making a stemming algorithm for Japanese would be less involved than
for English since the morphology is fairly straight forward with fewer
exceptions.

If you want something "off-the-rack" I highly recommend "MeCab: Yet
Another Part-of-Speech and Morphological Analyzer":

    http://mecab.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mecab/doc/index.html

It gives you base form, reading, pronunciation and more. I personally
have only used it for word segmentation but I think it sounds like a
reasonable fit for your purposes.

Best regards,
    Pontus Stenetorp
