Master Categorical Encoding: Ordinal & One-Hot Techniques Explained 📊

In this video, we have discussed about different techniques of encoding categorical variables. Ordinal encoder and One-Hot Encoder are the two techniques of converting your categorical features to numeric. Encoding categorical feature is one of the important step of feature engineering . As we know, machine learning algorithms do not accept string data. So, before sending our data to algorithms, we encode our features.
