About Snowball
Snowball was created in 2001 by Martin Porter. It was designed to provide a framework for developing stemming algorithms, which reduce words to their root forms to enhance text processing and search capabilities.
Strengths of Snowball included its simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use for creating stemming algorithms. Weaknesses involved limited language support and less flexibility compared to more general-purpose programming languages. Competitors included tools like the Porter Stemmer and libraries in languages such as Python's NLTK and SpaCy.
