Python Artificial Intelligence Projects for Beginners

Mjob
 
at_home
, 
Mjob
health
, or 
Mjob
. These new columns, for example, the 
Mjob at_home
 column will have
value 
1
 and the rest will have 
0
. This means only one of the new columns generated will
have one.
This is know as 
one-hot encoding
. The reason this name was given is for example, imagine
some wires going into a circuit. Suppose in the circuit there are five wires, and you want
use one-hot encoding method, you need to activate only one of these wires while keeping
the rest of wires off.
On performing 
HFU@EVNNJFT
 function on our dataset, You can notice for example
activities_no
 and 
activities_yes
 columns. The originally associated columns that said no
had 1 as value under 
activies_no
 column followed by 0. The same as for 
activities_yes
 had
yes it would have a value 0 followed by 1 for others. This led to creation of many more new
columns around 57 in total but this made our dataset full of numeric data. The following
screenshot shows the columns
