In machine learning, data is the most important aspect, but the raw data is messy, incomplete, or unstructured. So, we process the raw data to transform it into a clean, structured format for analysis, and this step in the data science pipeline is known as data processing.

  • Without data processing, even the advanced machine learning algorithms will perform poorly.
  • Data processing ensures that the data is the right shape and quality to derive meaningful insights. Hence, it
