Remove stopwords from the generated word clouds #1655

Open

Description

Missing functionality

Word clouds contain the most common words, and for free text fields, these words are often: 'and', 'to', 'the', 'from' etc. Which provide no meaningful insight into the data.

Proposed feature

Include an option to remove stopwords when generating word clouds. Perhaps by incorporating the nltk package to identify the list of stopwords.

Example:

from nltk.corpus import stopwords

stop = stopwords.words('english')

Alternatives considered

Removing stopwords from a pandas dataframe prior to generating the report wouldn't suffice in this case, as it would affect the 'samples' in the report
