Kohtmäärsõnu

Kohtmääärsõnu, also known as "stop words" in English, are a set of commonly used words in a language that are often filtered out during text processing tasks such as information retrieval and text mining. These words typically include articles, conjunctions, prepositions, and other function words that do not carry significant meaning on their own. Examples of kohtmääärsõnu in Estonian include "ja" (and), "aga" (but), "kui" (if), "see" (this), and "on" (is). The purpose of removing kohtmääärsõnu is to reduce the dimensionality of the text data, improve the efficiency of algorithms, and enhance the accuracy of results by focusing on the more meaningful content words. This process is particularly important in natural language processing and machine learning applications where the volume of text data can be vast and complex.
