Preprocessing Schemes

Definition

Preprocessing schemes refer to methods used to prepare data before it is processed or analyzed by a system. These schemes involve operations such as data cleaning, normalization, transformation, and feature extraction to optimize data quality and format for subsequent computational tasks. Proper preprocessing is critical for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of algorithms, particularly in machine learning and cryptographic protocols. It reduces noise and irrelevant information, making data more suitable for specific applications.
