I&#8217;m then just manually cleaning it up, using regular expressions where I can to simplify the process. After that, I plan on just manually &#8216;snipping&#8217; the images out and put all of this into a MySQL database.<\/p>\n<p>The project I&#8217;m working on rn is a question suggestion system based on content and question difficulty and I&#8217;m using a very specific subset of questions, as I mentioned earlier, just because I&#8217;m not too committed atm to tediously creating a dataset. I&#8217;m not even sure if storing this in MySQL is a good idea and I&#8217;ve personally never worked on any ML projects that don&#8217;t involve .csv files or aren&#8217;t image datasets, so I am pretty lost on this.<\/p>\n<p>Any advice would be super highly appreciated!
