A before/after character count shows how much content was cleaned. Click Apply to see the result.
Background & Context
Text cleaning is a critical preprocessing step in natural language processing (NLP) and data science. Before feeding text to machine learning models, developers routinely strip punctuation, normalize whitespace, remove stop words, and convert to lowercase. Dirty data is often cited as the most common cause of poor-performing AI models.
