Conclusion. Encoding categorical data is a crucial step in data preprocessing. By converting categorical data into a numeric format, machine learning models can interpret and work more effectively.

For example, it's better to normalize data before encoding because encoding generates many additional numeric columns which makes it a bit more complicated to normalize the original numeric data.

In this video, Al Wegener from Samplify Systems presents: Numerical Encoding Shatters Exascale’s Memory Wall. If you develop applications for your own internal research or development purposes, then ...

For example, for an ordinal categorical variable with nine possible values, the encoding would be 0.10, 0.20, . . 0.90. Because the encoding for categorical variables results in all encoded values ...
