The normalization of RNA-seq data is essential for accurate downstream inference, but the assumptions upon which most normalization methods are based are not applicable in the single-cell setting.

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses a full code sample and screenshots to show how to programmatically normalize numeric data for use in a machine learning system such as a deep neural ...

A topic that's often very confusing for beginners when using neural networks is data normalization and encoding. Because neural networks work internally with numeric data, binary data (such as sex, ...
