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.
If no dimensions are specified with '--dimensions (-d)', then all categorical-type dimensions will be
one-hot encoded. Otherwise, only the dimensions given in '--dimensions (-d)' will 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.arff --output_file X_ouput.csv --dimensions 1
--dimensions 3
Name
mlpack_preprocess_one_hot_encoding - one hot encoding
Optional Input Options
--dimensions(-d)[vector]
Index of dimensions that need to be one-hot encoded (if unspecified, all categorical dimensions
are one-hot encoded). Default value [].
--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.

Display the version of mlpack.
Optional Output Options
--output_file (-o) [unknown] Matrix to save one-hot encoded features data to.
Required Input Options
