Terms

Hi All

Ive got a few terms I need explaining.

I came across a diagram of an opensource metasearch engine but require some terms explaining.

The terms Are

Stemming , Stopping .Cleaning of Titles and Snippets.

Thus Ive found some information on Stemming I cant find anything on cleaning and stopping of Titles and snippets.

If anyone can provide url or can an explanation that would be great.

thanks

Data Cleaning
Our system parses the log files to produce the sequence of pages that have been downloaded. Unfortunately some of these pages are just advertisements, as many web pages will launch a pop-up ad window when they are loaded. As few of these advertisement pages will contribute to the subject's information needs, leaving them in the training data might confuse the learner. We therefore assembled a list of advertisement domain names, such as: ads.orbitz.com, ads.realcities.com, etc. We compare each URL's domain name with the ad server list and ignore a URL if it is in the list.
