Category Magic: Transforming Categorical Data in ML

If you are learning machine learning, then during the data preprocessing step, if the data contains categorical data that is significant for forecasting output or the dependent variable is in categorical form, we must turn that data into numerical form.This process is known as Encoding.

Why we transform Categorical Data into Numerical Form ?

We all know that machines only understand 0's and 1's, and machine learning algorithms are no exception. It works well with numerical data. So, before we …
