Definition: noisy text


Text that is difficult to decipher by software that attempts to derive meaning from the words. Text in chats, blogs and text messages is very noisy, because abbreviations and slang are widely used. Typos and misspellings are noisy, as is text derived from optical scanning (OCR). See text mining and noisy data.
