Kombinasi Metode Rule-Based dan N-Gram Stemming untuk Mengenali Stemmer Bahasa Bali by Made Agus Putra Subali, Chastine Fatichah

“…To overcome the stemming weaknesses using rule-based, we use the n-gram stemming method, where the inflected word and stem word are converted to the n-gram form, then the level of similarity between the n-gram of the inflected word and the stem word is measured using the dice coefficient method, when the level of similarity meets the defined threshold value, then the stem word is displayed. …”
