# Italian Stemmer Benchmarks
|
||
|
||
This page reports same-language stemming benchmarks for Italian. Accuracy is listed first because speed without root agreement is not enough to interpret stemmer quality.
|
||
|
||
All speed values are environment-specific and were measured on the hardware and JVM listed in the [benchmark overview](../index.md). Speed benchmark operations process changed dictionary tokens only. Accuracy uses the complete Radixor dictionary for the language.
|
||
|
||
Radixor must not be read as simply "slower" when a narrow competitor has a lower timing row. In these tables Radixor is the quality-oriented baseline: its exact-root accuracy is typically close to 100%, while many faster rule-based, light, minimal, or possessive filters reach that speed by doing much less linguistic work and often score far lower in `All exact` and `Changed exact`. The Radixor rows in this benchmark refresh use the contracted compiled patch trie: compilation collapses uniform patch-command subtrees into accepting leaves, reducing hot lookup depth while preserving the preferred stemming result measured by the accuracy pass. The [EnglishRadixorDictionaryCoverageBenchmark](../reference/english-coverage.md) table shows the resulting quality/speed envelope explicitly. The same interpretation applies to this language page: speed rows must be read together with the accuracy table above them.
|
||
|
||
## Dictionary Corpus
|
||
|
||
| Model ID | Model version | Language | Dictionary rows | Complete quality tokens | Already-root tokens | Changed tokens | JMH timing tokens |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
|
||
| `it-it-default` | `1.0.0` | `IT_IT` | 10,009 | 337,546 | 20,004 | 317,542 | 317,542 |
|
||
|
||
## Radixor Patch Command Distribution
|
||
|
||
Radixor stores the preferred transformation for each normalized dictionary word form as a compiled patch command. This distribution shows which runtime command class is selected by the trained trie for the complete default-model dictionary. The total number of preferred patch commands analyzed for this language is **337,546**.
|
||
|
||
| Command class | Meaning | Word forms | Share |
|
||
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
|
||
| `BackwardCompoundCommand` | Applies a multi-step backward patch made from skip, delete, insert, and replace operations. | 302,089 | 89.496% |
|
||
| `DeleteSuffixCommand` | Deletes one or more trailing characters from the word form. | 12,348 | 3.658% |
|
||
| `PreserveCommand` | Returns the word form unchanged because it already matches the preferred root. | 20,013 | 5.929% |
|
||
| `ReplaceLastCharacterCommand` | Replaces the final character of the word form. | 3,096 | 0.917% |
|
||
|
||
## Accuracy
|
||
|
||
Accuracy is computed from JMH auxiliary counters in the current report. The counters are deterministic for a fixed corpus and stemmer; percentages divide matching counters by evaluated counters from the same report and are not timing metrics.
|
||
|
||
| Stemmer | All exact | Changed exact | Root preserved | Note |
|
||
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
|
||
| Radixor | 99.056% | 98.997% | 100.000% | Radixor dictionary-trained patch-command stemmer. |
|
||
| Lucene ItalianLightStemFilter | 0.466% | 0.479% | 0.270% | Light suffix stemmer; intentionally narrower than Radixor's dictionary-trained transformation model. |
|
||
| Lucene SnowballFilter | 0.041% | 0.043% | 0.010% | Lucene TokenFilter integration path around the Snowball algorithm. |
|
||
| Official Snowball direct | 0.041% | 0.043% | 0.010% | Official Snowball generated Java stemmer; rule-based suffix algorithm. |
|
||
|
||
## Speed
|
||
|
||
Speed uses JMH average time, 5 warmup iterations, 10 measurement iterations, 3 independent forks, and 1 thread. Relative factor is computed against the single Radixor row on this language page. Values below 1.000 are faster than that Radixor baseline; values above 1.000 are slower.
|
||
|
||
| Stemmer | Benchmark method | Score ms/op | Error ms | ns/token | Relative vs Radixor | Note |

|
||
| Radixor | `italianRadixor` | 22.503 | 0.434 | 70.9 | 1.000 | Radixor dictionary-trained patch-command stemmer. |
|
||
| Lucene ItalianLightStemFilter | `italianLuceneItalianLightStemFilter` | 15.008 | 0.278 | 47.3 | 0.667 | Light Italian suffix stemmer. |
|
||
| Official Snowball direct | `snowballDirect[ITALIAN]` | 109.401 | 2.983 | 344.5 | 4.862 | Official Snowball generated Java stemmer; direct API. |
|
||
| Lucene SnowballFilter | `luceneSnowballFilter[ITALIAN]` | 116.392 | 3.271 | 366.5 | 5.172 | Lucene TokenFilter path around Snowball; includes TokenStream overhead. |
|
||
|
||
## Interpretation Notes
|
||
|
||
- Radixor is a dictionary-trained patch-command stemmer. Its learned transformations can generalize beyond the word forms listed in the training resource.
|
||
- Light, minimal, plural, and possessive filters are narrow baselines. They can be fast because they intentionally perform less linguistic work.
|
||
- Lucene TokenFilter rows include TokenStream, attribute, and required normalization overhead. Direct rows measure exposed direct APIs.
|
||
- Morfologik rows are dictionary-based and can emit multiple terms for one input token. Quality rows use the first returned term when no ranking weight is available.
|
||
- Snowball rows are rule-based generated suffix stemmers; they are useful algorithmic baselines, not dictionary-root equivalence guarantees.

|
||
## Stemming Quality
|
||
|
||
Runtime performance and linguistic grouping quality are independent dimensions. This section evaluates language `IT_IT` using the complete validated stemming-quality result matrix. Every distinct surface form is one evaluated item and can belong to several dictionary groups. Two forms are a positive pair when their group-membership sets intersect and a negative pair when those sets are disjoint. A pair shared through several groups is counted once. Exact equality with a predetermined lemma is not required.
|
||
|
||
`ALL_WORDS` includes every valid group and its original forms. `LOWERCASE_GROUPS_ONLY` excludes an entire group when any Unicode code point is uppercase or titlecase; retained words are not lowercased or otherwise rewritten. This isolates case-handling effects without changing retained inputs. [Download the complete machine-readable result snapshot](../data/stemming-quality.csv).
|
||
|
||
### Evaluation Scope and Key Findings
|
||
|
||
The default model is `it-it-default`, loaded from classpath resource `org/egothor/stemmer/models/it-it-default/stemmer.gz`. The following findings compare only deterministic `PRIMARY_OUTPUT` rows over identical included groups; candidate policies are reported separately as capability analyses.
|
||
|
||
- **ALL_WORDS:** `Radixor` ranks first by balanced accuracy at **0.996651** among 4 deterministic stemmers. The runner-up is `SNOWBALL ITALIAN DIRECT` at 0.866290, a difference of 0.130361. This rank does not imply leadership in throughput or every secondary metric.
|
||
- **LOWERCASE_GROUPS_ONLY:** `Radixor` ranks first by balanced accuracy at **0.996656** among 4 deterministic stemmers. The runner-up is `SNOWBALL ITALIAN DIRECT` at 0.866307, a difference of 0.130350. This rank does not imply leadership in throughput or every secondary metric.
|
||
### `ALL_WORDS`
|
||
|
||
This mode contains **6 result rows**, **4 evaluated stemmers**, and **3 output policies**. Applied-row and form counts are shown per row because adapters share the language corpus but policy rows remain independently auditable. `PRIMARY_OUTPUT` and `ALL_CANDIDATES` rankings are ordered by unrounded balanced accuracy, followed by MCC, F1, over-stemming rate, over-stemming count, under-stemming rate, and stemmer. `ANY_CANDIDATE` has no single rank metric and is listed alphabetically. Balanced accuracy is a navigation metric, not a universally authoritative quality score.

#### `ANY_CANDIDATE` oracle bounds
|
||
|
||
These results are measured, not missing. `ANY_CANDIDATE` answers two separate optimistic questions for each pair: a gold-related pair avoids under-stemming when the candidate sets intersect, while a gold-negative pair avoids over-stemming when some non-colliding candidate selection exists. The oracle may choose a different candidate for the same word in different pairs. Consequently, these decisions do not form one globally realizable predicted relation or one TP/FP/FN/TN confusion matrix. Balanced accuracy, F-scores, Jaccard, Fowlkes–Mallows, and MCC are therefore mathematically **not applicable**, rather than unknown.

#### Multi-output analysis
|
||
|

### Output Policies and Metric Definitions
|
||
|
||
Each distinct surface form is one item and may belong to several gold groups. Two forms are gold-related when their membership sets intersect; a relation shared by several groups is counted once. `PRIMARY_OUTPUT` uses one deterministic stem per form. `ANY_CANDIDATE` is an optimistic oracle-assisted pairwise upper bound: a gold-related pair succeeds when candidates intersect, while a gold-negative pair succeeds when a non-colliding selection exists. Candidate choices may differ between pairs, so this is not deterministic runtime behaviour and does not define one confusion matrix. `ALL_CANDIDATES` activates every returned candidate; forms are related when candidate sets intersect.
|
||
|
||
For `PRIMARY_OUTPUT` and `ALL_CANDIDATES`, `TP = underPossiblePairs - underErrorPairs`, `FN = underErrorPairs`, `FP = overErrorPairs`, and `TN = overPossiblePairs - overErrorPairs`. `ANY_CANDIDATE` publishes only its separate oracle-assisted under/over bounds; confusion-derived metrics are mathematically inapplicable and are not presented in its language-page section. Their machine-readable CSV fields remain empty. Undefined metric denominators in otherwise applicable policies are rendered as `n/a`.
|
||
|
||
- Under-stemming rate (Paice UI): `FN / (TP + FN)`, the false-negative rate over gold-related pairs.
|
||
- Over-stemming rate (Paice OI): `FP / (TN + FP)`, the false-positive rate over gold-negative pairs.
|
||
- Pairwise precision: `TP / (TP + FP)`, the fraction of predicted conflations that are gold-standard positive pairs.
|
||
- Pairwise recall: `TP / (TP + FN)`, the fraction of gold-standard positive pairs successfully connected.
|
||
- Pairwise specificity: `TN / (TN + FP)`, the fraction of gold-negative pairs correctly separated.
|
||
- Balanced accuracy: `(recall + specificity) / 2`. It gives equal weight to positive and negative pair classes and is less dominated by the large true-negative class than ordinary accuracy. It does not replace the raw errors or other metrics.
|
||
- Pairwise F-beta: `((1 + betaSquared) * TP) / (((1 + betaSquared) * TP) + (betaSquared * FN) + FP)`. F0.5 emphasizes precision and penalizes over-stemming more; F1 weights precision and recall equally; F2 emphasizes recall and penalizes under-stemming more.
|
||
- MCC: `(TP * TN - FP * FN) / sqrt((TP + FP) * (TP + FN) * (TN + FP) * (TN + FN))`. It uses all confusion counts and remains useful under class imbalance, except when its denominator is degenerate.
|
||
- Jaccard index: `TP / (TP + FP + FN)`.
|
||
- Fowlkes–Mallows index: `sqrt(precision * recall)`.
|
||
- Pairwise accuracy: `(TP + TN) / (TP + TN + FP + FN)`. It can be dominated by true-negative cross-group pairs.
|
||
- Pairwise error rate: `(FP + FN) / (TP + TN + FP + FN)`.
|
||
|
||
Standard ARI, homogeneity, completeness, V-measure, and NMI are not calculated: their usual contingency-table definitions require an exclusive gold partition, while this gold standard is an overlapping cover.
