P-Stemmer or NLTK Stemmer for Arabic Text Classification?

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of computer science that focuses on developing systems that allow computers to communicate with people using everyday language. NLP tools are Devoted to making computers understand statements written in human language. Indexing, text retrieval and word processing are considered as challenges in the classification process. Hence, Arabic Natural Language Processing ANLP tools are needed to achieve the aforementioned tasks. ANLP includes preprocessing such as Stemming, Normalization, Stop-word Removal, Part of speech POS and other processes. In this work, we collected 1,000 news articles from Alghad.com newspaper, then we classified our dataset using SVM and NB algorithms using NLTK tool. We compared the results of two stemmers; P-Stemmer and NLTK stemmer using the mentioned classification process. The results of the classification for the P-Stemmer was better than the NLTK stemmer and for the two classifiers.
