Hungarian stemmers

We provide two stemmers for Hungarian: a light stemmer and a heavy stemmer. The light stemmer is less invasive than the heavy stemmer altering fewer words. It attempts to stem nouns and adjectives. The heavy stemmer also stems verbs and numerals.

The package (click here) contains Snowball, C and Java versions of both stemmers, as well as a read me file.
