preprocesses
Readies data first
Preprocesses is the third-person singular present tense of preprocess, meaning to perform preliminary operations on data or materials before the main processing occurs.
In computing, this typically involves preparing raw data for analysis by cleaning, formatting, or transforming it: The script preprocesses the images before feeding them to the neural network.
In manufacturing or food production, preprocessing might involve sorting, washing, or cutting materials before the primary production stage.
