Improvised Stemming Algorithm - TWIG

Information Retrieval System retrieves the document from a collection of documents which is need by the user and it should satisfy the users need also. IR System makes use of Stemming algorithms in the pre-processing stage to convert the words to their root form, which improves the retrieval performance of the system. Many such stemming algorithms exist; among those porters stemming algorithm is the popular one because of its simplicity, efficiency and availability. Even It is popular there exist some drawbacks. In this paper a TWIG stemming algorithm is proposed which produced meaning full stems and it reduces the error rate to a bare minimum one.
