Before applying Machine Learning on any dataset, you need to convert it in such a way that the algorithms can understand the dataset. These steps are preprocessing steps.
Data preprocessing is an integral step in Machine Learning as the quality of data and the useful information that can be derived from it directly affects the ability of your model to learn.
Data is said to be unclean if it is missing attribute, attribute values, contains noise, or outliers, and duplicate or wrong data.
Therefore, it is imperative that you preprocess your data before feeding it into your model. But data preprocessing is often considered time consuming and tedious by many Machine Learning developers.
And this project changes that for all developers.
In this project, you will be building a simple CLI tool that will save time by performing the data preprocessing in a faster, and convenient manner.

Skills to hone
By end of the project, you would have conquered the following concepts:
- OOPS - Python, like others is an object-oriented language. An object-oriented paradigm is to design the program using classes and objects. Using classes and objects while writing python scripts is very common and OOPs concepts helps in this process.
- Pandas - Pandas are really powerful. They provide you with a huge set of important commands and features which are used to easily analyze your data. We can use Pandas to perform various tasks like filtering your data according to certain conditions, or segmenting and segregating the data according to preference, etc. It is one of the most widely used python libraries in the AI regime today.
- Exception handling - It is a very popular technique for incorporating fault tolerance into software systems. It allows developers to structure the redundant code that is added to deal with the exceptional conditions that may occur, separating it from the code responsible for the normal operating flow.
