Normalization Regex Library Node

The Normalization Regex Library Node normalizes the input string using a set of regular expressions contained in a Regex Library. This is generally done to format the input prior to vocabulary lookup.

In most definitions the input to this node is a list of substrings or words. The normalization is applied to each substring independently.

Used in:

• Extraction Definitions
• Gender Analysis Definitions
• Identification Analysis Definitions
• Locale Guess Definitions
• Match Definitions
• Standardization Definitions
• Parse Definitions
