In this module, we will explore the basics of lexical processing, starting with stopwords and word splitting techniques. We'll dive into the bag-of-words model and its application, followed by handling similar text words. The module concludes with case studies on applying these techniques in real-world scenarios, including spam detection and Tf-IDF analysis.
