When clustering with OpenRefine, is there a way to "exclude" a string in a cluster ? right now it feels like either it clusterize everything or not

When using the clustering function in OpenRefine, you can select the "Merge?" option to clusterize the strings that were put together with the method of your choose, but what if the method clusterizes correctly most of them except for one string that I manually identify doesnt belongs in th ecluster, is there a way to exclude that specific string from the rest of the cluster ?

Unfortunately there is not currently a way of excluding or selecting a subset of terms from a cluster. The only two options I can think of are:

  • a) modify the clustering algorithm you are using to try to get better clustering which doesn't include the incorrect terms
  • b) Go to 'browse cluster' and mark the rows with the terms you don't want to have in the cluster (e.g. by Flagging the rows), exclude the flagged rows in a facet and re-cluster - this will then not include any of the terms you didn't want
