Which is better, stemming or lemmatization?

Answered by Shantell Roye

Stemming is a relatively faster algorithm compared to lemmatization because of its easy ‘word chopping’ algorithm unlike lemmatization takes time to convert to its root form.

Stemming works in the following way

Lemmatization works in the following way
