In this work , we use the Arabic root extraction technique in ( El Kourdi , 2004 ) . It compares favorably to other stemming or root extraction algorithms ( Yates and Neto , 1999 ; Al-Shalabi and Evens , 1998 ; and Houmame , 1999 ) , with a performance of over 97 % for extracting the correct root in web documents , and it addresses the challenge of the Arabic broken plural and hollow verbs . In the remainder of this paper , we will use the term `` root '' and `` term '' interchangeably to refer to canonical forms obtained through this root extraction process .
