Python In Practice - 15 Projects to Master Python - Preparing the Data

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a machine learning model to classify user preferences based on age and gender. It covers importing and examining a dataset, preprocessing data by encoding categorical variables, handling potential encoding errors, and splitting the data into input and output sets for model training.

What is the primary task described in the video tutorial?

• To create a machine learning model to predict user income.

• To analyze sales data from a coffee shop.

• To develop a new coffee flavor.

• To classify user preferences based on age and gender.

What is the range of ages in the dataset?

• 10 to 20

• 15 to 25

• 20 to 30

• 18 to 24

Why is it necessary to encode categorical data in machine learning?

• To reduce the size of the dataset.

• To improve the accuracy of the model.

• To convert string values into numeric values for better model learning.

• To make the dataset more visually appealing.

Which library is used for encoding categorical data in the tutorial?

• sklearn

• Matplotlib

• Pandas

• NumPy

What is the purpose of separating encoding steps into different cells?

• To make the code run faster.

• To improve the readability of the code.

• To reduce memory usage.

• To avoid errors related to unseen labels.

What are the input features for the machine learning model?

• Flavor only

• Age and gender

• Gender and flavor

• Age and flavor

What is the next step after preparing the dataset for model training?

• Collecting more data

• Testing the model on new data

• Creating the model and making predictions

• Visualizing the data
