Hi, please could you take a look at attached picture?
dictionary filter node has empty dictionary table (note the Exclamation mark under the node) and my document column in input.

my question is: why is the output table not empty as well? why is the Bag of words not empty as well? is this a system bug or not?

thank you,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Why should they be empty?!
The Dictionary Filter node excludes the terms in the input document which are mentioned in the dictionary table. So if your dictionary is empty then no terms are filtered and the output would be the input document without any changes.

Best,
Armin
