NAME¶

mlpack_preprocess_one_hot_encoding - one hot encoding

SYNOPSIS¶

 mlpack_preprocess_one_hot_encoding -d vector -i string [-V bool] [-o string] [-h -v] 

DESCRIPTION¶

This utility takes a dataset and a vector of indices and does one-hot encoding of the respective features at those indices. Indices represent the IDs of the dimensions to be one-hot encoded.

The output matrix with encoded features may be saved with the '--output_file (-o)' parameters.

So, a simple example where we want to encode 1st and 3rd feature from dataset ’X.csv' into 'X_output.csv' would be

$ mlpack_preprocess_one_hot_encoding --input_file X.csv --output_file X_ouput.csv --dimensions 1 --dimensions 3

REQUIRED INPUT OPTIONS¶

--dimensions (-d) [vector]

Index of dimensions thatneed to be one-hot encoded.

--input_file (-i) [string]

Matrix containing data.

OPTIONAL INPUT OPTIONS¶

--help (-h) [bool]

Default help info.

--info [string]

Print help on a specific option. Default value ''.

--verbose (-v) [bool]

Display informational messages and the full list of parameters and timers at the end of execution.

--version (-V) [bool]

Display the version of mlpack.

OPTIONAL OUTPUT OPTIONS¶

--output_file (-o) [string]

Matrix to save one-hot encoded features data to.
