In natural language processing, stemming is the process of reducing a word to its stem form. Typically, stemming is used as part of an NLP pipeline in order to reduce all words in a text to their stems so that they can be analyzed together.

Lemmatization is the process of reducing a word to its lemma (canonical form). In natural language processing, a lemmatizer may be used to reduce all words in a given text to their lemmas, which makes comparative analysis possible based on canonical forms.
