移除 stop words using regex. Build a pattern from the stop word list: \b(the|a|an|is|at|which|on|...)\b and replace with empty string. Use word boundaries to avoid removing substrings (don't remove "at" from "cat"). Case-insensitive flag (i) for matching.

- 应该 I 总是移除停止 words?
- 否. 为 bag-of-words models (topic modeling, 分类), 是. 为搜索, 它 depends — "到是 或不 到是" 是所有停止 words 但 meaningful. 为 sentiment 分析, 停止 words like "不" 和 "但" carry sentiment. 为 phrase matching ("King 的 England"), keep 它们. Consider 你的任务之前 removing.
