Add Unary/ Thermometer Encoding

Open iki77 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Add Unary/Thermometer Encoding as an alternative for Ordinal Encoding. According to Source it is also more robust to adversarial examples

This is an alternative to one hot encoding, not ordinal. It could be interesting and should be relatively easy to do, but I'm not sure this algorithm will be better than OHE. I think it could be added as a parameter to existing OHE implementation.

P.S. It was in the works but right now nobody is doing it

I've finally worked on this. This issue is a duplicate of #199 anyway right?
