As machine learning algorithms most often accept only numerical inputs, it is important to encode the categorical variables into some specific numerical values. In this article, we compare the label encoding and one-hot encoding techniques by implementing it in Python. Label Encoding Label encoding is one of the popular processes of converting labels into numeric…
