What is the best way to identify irrelevant data for specific algorithms?
Hidden characters (non-printable characters, as an example the ASCII control character range 0-31) sometimes are found in seemingly clean data. It's important to perform a cursory analysis if hidden control characters might have been used in a meaningful way in the source data. Examples of where control characters might have been used as hidden separators include partitioning of key-value pairs, record rows, or hidden structure of long text. I have seen hidden char(30) record separators that were used to separate records where there seemingly was no apparent visual separation between record rows in a CSV file. Pay careful attention to how these control chars might have been used in the source data to help unlock and use hidden structure.

Review of new parseHtml() Function in Google Refine
Personal Blog
See publication...Using jsoup's simple selector syntax, I was able to easily parse out company websites from LinkedIn's public pages. The example below says select the div called data-table that contains the term Website and return the 2nd <a href> htmlText. In Refine, the ordering starts at [0], so in this case [1] gives the 2nd href link....
