Subject: comments on "Applying NLP to IR"

Hi.  I noticed your paper "Applying NLP to IR: Why and How".
I found the paper on researchindex.com.  I know it was only
for a graduate course, but I thought I'd make a correction 
to one of the things you say.  You correctly mentioned that
I used a derivational morphology routine and an inflectional
routine in my stemming research.  But you say that I didn't
try to combine them.  In fact the derivational routine *includes*
the inflectional one.  That is, it first handles inflectional
variants and then reduces any derivational variants that apply.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know!

Bob
