Analyzers
Analyzers are used to pre-process, tokenize and normalize text. If you happen to be familiar with analyzers in Lucene, Solr and/or Elasticsearch, the concept is exactly the same although the details may differ a little bit. Analyzers are typically language-specific.
As of version 0.38, Annif supports three analyzers: simple, snowball and voikko.
The simple analyzer only splits text into words and turns them all into lowercase.
The snowball analyzer additionally performs stemming. It takes a language name as parameter, e.g. snowball(english) or snowball(finnish). You can use any language supported by the NLTK Snowball stemmer; see the NLTK stemmer documentation for details on supported languages.
The supported languages as of NLTK 3.4.5 are:
arabic danish dutch english finnish french german hungarian italian norwegian porter portuguese romanian russian spanish swedish
The voikko analyzer performs lemmatization for Finnish. It takes a language code as parameter, e.g. voikko(fi). This analyzer needs to be installed separately. See Optional features and dependencies
