We must have understood what one-hot encoding is, why it is used, and how to use it. One-hot and label encoding are the techniques to preprocess the data. These two are the widely used techniques, so we have to decide which technique to implement for each type of data:One-hot or la...
Even though many encoding techniques exist, their impact on highly imbalanced massive data sets is not thoroughly evaluated. Two transaction datasets with an imbalance lower than 1% of frauds have been used in our study. Six encoding methods were employed, which belong to either tar...
We’ve explored four techniques to encode categorical data with high cardinality: target encoding, count encoding, feature hashing and embedding. Specifically, we learned: The challenge of working with high-cardinality categorical data The advantages and limitations of each of the four techniques How ...
A comparative study of categorical variable encoding techniques for neural network classifiers. Int. J. Comput. Appl. 2017, 175, 7–9. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Lucasius, C.B.; Dane, A.D.; Kateman, G. On k-medoid clustering of large data sets with the aid of a genetic algorithm...
categorical data for machine learning models, we’ll first define categorical data and its types. Additionally, we'll look at several encoding methods, categorical data analysis and visualization methods in Python, and more advanced ideas like large cardinality categorical data and various encoding ...

For example, in mean target encoding for each category in the feature label is decided with the mean value of the target variable on training data. This encoding method brings out the relation between similar categories, but the connections are bounded within the categories and target itself. ...
In the examples directory, there is an example script used to benchmark different encoding techniques on various datasets. The datasets used in the examples are car, mushroom, and splice datasets from the UCI dataset repository, found here: ...
In this paper, we are interested in the methods based on Markov techniques since they have shown to be highly effective in encoding chronological dependencies in sequential data [19,21,22]. Generally, such methods proceed in defining a probability framework for capturing the statistically significant...
