A topic that's often very confusing for beginners when using neural networks is data normalization and encoding. Because neural networks work internally with numeric data, binary data (such as sex, ...

These are examples of item-level descriptions, illustrating how encoding works with and without the use of CDATA (a feature of XML 1.0). Each example consists of two lines, the first is an example ...

For example, when using the Keras library, you can encode a binary dependent variable using zero-one encoding in conjunction with logistic sigmoid activation, or you can use one-hot encoding in ...

[Editor's Note, 7/20/12: After we published Jan's article, he received a note from Colleen Henry, Video Hacker, Google Video Infrastructure, with further recommendations for encoding for YouTube.

The encoding example for the excited states of N baryons using the encoding mechanism in this article. With this mechanism, researchers can expect more reliable and precise data, which is critical for ...
