Bag-of-Words (BoW)

Bag of Words (BoW) is a simple way to represent text data. It breaks down a document into individual words, disregarding grammar and order, but noting the frequency of each word. Imagine you have a bag filled with words from a sentence; you count how many times each word appears, creating a list. This method helps in analyzing text for tasks like classifying or clustering information, as it focuses on word presence and frequency rather than their arrangement, making it easier for computers to process and understand language.
