'''
Input texts are checked against occurences of certain words included in a list of "stopwords" established by NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit). These words are then removed.
In data mining, text processing and machine learning, these so-called high frequency words are filtered out before or after natural language data is processed.
Relational words such as 'the', 'is', 'at', 'which', and 'on' are considered redundant because they are too frequent, and meaningless once the word order is removed.
