Data Preprocessing

Manage and preprocess sequence and tabular data for deep learning

Preprocessing data is a common first step in the deep learning workflow to prepare raw data in a format that the network can accept. For example, you can preprocess data to enhance desired features or reduce artifacts that can bias the network. For example, you can normalize or remove noise from input data.

You can preprocess sequence input with operations such as normalization by using datastores and functions available in MATLAB® and Deep Learning Toolbox™. Other MATLAB toolboxes offer functions, datastores, and apps for labeling, processing, and augmenting deep learning data. Use specialized tools from other MATLAB toolboxes to process data for domains such as audio, text, and signal processing.
