Convert array of indices to 1-hot encoded numpy array

Question

Let s say I have a 1d numpy array a   array  1 0 3    I would like to encode this as a 2D one-hot array b   array   0 1 0 0    1 0 0 0    0 0 0 1     Is there a quick way to do this   Quicker than just looping over a to set elements of b  that is

Use the following code  It works best   def one hot encode x           argument         - x  a list of labels     return         - one hot encoding matrix  number of labels  number of class      encoded   np zeros  len x   10    for idx  val in enumerate x       encoded idx  val    1  return encoded   Found it here P S You don t need to go into the link

Such type of encoding are usually part of numpy array  If you are using a numpy array like this    a   np array  1 0 3     then there is very simple way to convert that to 1-hot encoding  out    np arange 4     a   None   astype np float32    That s it

You can use  sklearn preprocessing LabelBinarizer   Example   import sklearn preprocessing a    1 0 3  label binarizer   sklearn preprocessing LabelBinarizer   label binarizer fit range max a  1   b   label binarizer transform a  print   0   format b     output     0 1 0 0    1 0 0 0    0 0 0 1     Amongst other things  you may initialize sklearn preprocessing LabelBinarizer   so that the output of transform is sparse

Just to elaborate on the excellent answer from K3---rnc  here is a more generic version   def onehottify x  n None  dtype float          1-hot encode x with the max value n  computed from data if n is None          x   np asarray x      n   np max x    1 if n is None else n     return np eye n  dtype dtype  x    Also  here is a quick-and-dirty benchmark of this method and a method from the currently accepted answer by YXD  slightly changed  so that they offer the same API except that the latter works only with 1D ndarrays    def onehottify only 1d x  n None  dtype float       x   np asarray x      n   np max x    1 if n is None else n     b   np zeros  len x   n   dtype dtype      b np arange len x    x    1     return b   The latter method is  35  faster  MacBook Pro 13 2015   but the former is more general    gt  gt  gt  import numpy as np  gt  gt  gt  np random seed 42   gt  gt  gt  a   np random randint 0  9  size  10 000     gt  gt  gt  a array  6  3  7       5  8  6    gt  gt  gt   timeit onehottify a  10  188   s    5 03   s per loop  mean    std  dev  of 7 runs  10000 loops each   gt  gt  gt   timeit onehottify only 1d a  10  139   s    2 78   s per loop  mean    std  dev  of 7 runs  10000 loops each

Your array a defines the columns of the nonzero elements in the output array  You need to also define the rows and then use fancy indexing    gt  gt  gt  a   np array  1  0  3    gt  gt  gt  b   np zeros  a size  a max   1    gt  gt  gt  b np arange a size  a    1  gt  gt  gt  b array    0    1    0    0             1    0    0    0             0    0    0    1

I recently ran into a problem of same kind and found said solution which turned out to be only satisfying if you have numbers that go within a certain formation  For example if you want to one-hot encode following list   all good list    0 1 2 3 4    go ahead  the posted solutions are already mentioned above  But what if considering this data   problematic list    0 23 12 89 10    If you do it with methods mentioned above  you will likely end up with 90 one-hot columns  This is because all answers include something like n   np max a  1  I found a more generic solution that worked out for me and wanted to share with you   import numpy as np import sklearn sklb   sklearn preprocessing LabelBinarizer   a   np asarray  1 2 44 3 2   n   np unique a  sklb fit n  b   sklb transform a    I hope someone encountered same restrictions on above solutions and this might come in handy
