Can you please tell me how to build an autoencoder with a single matrix(4,4) with integer numbers? I want to build an autoencoder for the below-mentioned data. I don't know whether I should convert the decimal numbers to binary first using one-hot encoding or a neural network will recognize integer numbers. e.g, input data = array([[ 4, 3, 8, 6], [ 1, 1, 2, 2], [24, 18, 32, 24], [ 6, 6, 8, 8]]) autoencoder(data) output data= array([[ 4, 3, 8, 6], [ 1, 1, 2, 2], [24, 18, 32, 24] [ 6, 6, 8, 8]])
