The dashboard also provides users with a breakdown of the data into Originals, Exact Duplicates, Near Duplicates, and Excluded documents. Excluded documents are documents that could not be properly represented in the Cluster Wheel because they have very little text, no text or have text that is so unique it is not related to any other document within the Dataset.
