Even though there is still room for improvement, the new BT algorithm performs well in the sense that it is more accurate than the current stemmers and faster than brute-force-like algorithms.

The stemming module’s performance is compared with that of current state-of-the-art stemming algorithms for the Dutch Language. The tagging module is developed and evaluated using three algorithms: Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR), Neural Network (NN) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). Our algorithm combines a new tagging module with a stemmer that uses tag-specific sets of rigid rules: the Bag & Tag’em (BT) algorithm. The main issue is that most current stemmers cannot handle 3rd person singular forms of verbs and many irregular words and conjugations, unless a (nearly) brute-force approach is used. Abstract We propose a novel stemming algorithm that is both robust and accurate compared to state-of-the-art solutions, yet addresses several of the problems that current stemmers face in the Dutch language.
