Martin Porter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Martin F. Porter is the inventor of the Porter Stemmer and the Snowball programming framework.

The Muscat search engine comes from research performed by Dr Porter at Cambridge University (UK), and was commercialized in 1984 by Cambridge CD Publishing; it was subsequently sold to MAID which became the Dialog Corporation.[1]

In 2000 he was awarded the Tony Kent Strix award. He has a personal homepage at http://tartarus.org/~martin/.
