An Unfair Comparison Between Lemmatization and Stemming: Understanding Their Impact in NLP
📰 Medium · Machine Learning
Learn the difference between lemmatization and stemming in NLP and how to apply them for better text data cleaning
Action Steps
- Apply lemmatization using NLTK library to reduce words to their base form
- Use stemming algorithms like Porter Stemmer to reduce words to their root form
- Compare the results of lemmatization and stemming on a sample dataset to understand their differences
- Implement data cleaning pipelines using techniques like tokenization, stopword removal, and normalization
- Evaluate the effect of lemmatization and stemming on model performance using metrics like accuracy and F1-score
Who Needs to Know This
NLP engineers and data scientists can benefit from understanding the impact of lemmatization and stemming on their models' performance
Key Insight
💡 Lemmatization and stemming are two different techniques used for reducing words to their base form, with lemmatization being more accurate but also more computationally expensive
