Abstract

In this paper, we will introduce a new approach for scoring Farsi (also called Persian) documents in a Persian Search engine. This approach is based on a new stemming method for Farsi language. Our new stemming method works without any dictionary. Evaluation results show significant improvement in performance (precision/ recall) of the Information Retrieval (IR) system using this stemmer. we have combine our stemming method with a mathematical scoring approach named FDS to obtain a powerful scoring policy for relevant documents in a Persian search engine. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
