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

Properties

Output

If any regular expressions in the Regex Library match the input, the message is "Changes applied". Otherwise, the message will be, "No changes applied".

Normalized Form

The normalized form of the input. It is possible for an input and output to be identical even if "Changes applied", if the Regex Library returns output identical to the input.
