This article explains how to programmatically encode categorical data for use with a machine learning (ML) prediction model such as a neural network classification or regression system. Suppose you ...

Ask an early-elementary teacher what the recently popularized term “science-based reading instruction” means, and the response is likely to include something about decoding—the process of translating ...

Within the levels-of-processing framework, two experiments were carried out to clarify how encoding questions are used in retrieving words. In Experiment 1, subjects were required to recall the ...

The type of encoding to use depends on several factors, including specific ML library being used (such as PyTorch or scikit-learn), and whether a value is a predictor (sometimes called a feature or an ...
