remove Stopwords in java

Question

I have a list of stop words which contain around 30 words and a set of articles .

I want to parse each article and remove those stop words from it .

I am not sure what is the most effecient way to do it.

for instance I can loop through stop list and replace the word in article if exist with whitespace but it does not seem good .

Thanks

Answer 1

• Put stop words into a java.util.Set
• Split input into words
• For each word in input, see if it's contained in the set of stopwords, write to output if not
