Data Deduplication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Data deduplication is the process of identifying and removing duplicate records from a dataset. This can be done by comparing the values of each record to the values of all other records in the dataset. If two records have the same values for all of their fields, they are considered duplicates and can be removed.<\/p>\n<p>Data deduplication can be used to improve the performance of data analysis and machine learning tasks. By removing duplicate records, these tasks can be performed more quickly and efficiently. Additionally, data deduplication can help to reduce the size of a dataset, which can save storage space and improve the performance of data storage and retrieval systems.<\/p>\n<p>Data aggregation is the process of <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> combining multiple data points into a single data point.
