I want to use Neural Networks to predict a numeric value using text and numerical data. Here is an example:
It's a regression problem. If I try to use the Neural fitting (nftool) app, only allows use numerical data.
A solution that I can think of is to assign numerical values to each class in the text data values , but I think it is too computationally expensive , as my dataset has a size 17000×40.
Is there any way to use neural networks in a regression problem using cell data type ?
