Are there any tools in Llama_Index or Langchain that can be used for cleaning up nodes before embedding? I'm looking for something to help remove white space, special characters, etc.

Isn't that as simple as just applying a regex to your text? 👀

LLogan M

text = re.sub(r'[^0-9A-Za-z ]", "", text)

LLogan M

something like that

yeah I should have been more clear about what I'm looking for haha. How do I do that with SimpleNodeParser or do I have to use a different node parser that gives me access to each node as it parses?

PPocketColin

Or should I literally just iterate over every single node and update them after SimpleNodeParser returns the nodes?

LLogan M

I would just iterate after you get the parsed nodes yea 🙂

PPocketColin

laaaaaame

PPocketColin

haha ok thanks!

PPocketColin

maybe I'll make a PR to allow a custom parser to be passed to SimpleNodeParser

LLogan M

mmm maybe wait a day or two, something new coming out soon that will make this easier 🙂

PPocketColin

ooooo can't wait!

LLogan M

I'll even add this as an example! 💪
