Text Data in NLP
Text data is unstructured and often messy. Before it can be used for machine learning, it must be processed into a structured format. Common steps include:
- Tokenization: Breaking text into smaller units, such as words or sentences.
- Normalization: Cleaning and standardizing text.
- Feature Extraction: Converting text into numerical formats.
