When we’re performing data preprocessing on your knowledge base, data cleaning (or data cleansing, or data scrubbing) is an important step. We don’t want to feed bad info into an artificial intelligence system. Data cleaning ensures that the AI is getting the best information so it can deliver the best outputs.
