Normalizing data for neural networks

Hi,
I've read that it is good practice to normalize data before training a neural network.
There are different ways of normalizing data.
Does the data have to me normalized between 0 and 1? or can it be done using the standardize function - which won't necessarily give you numbers between 0 and 1 and could give you negative numbers.
Many thanks

Hi,
I've heard that the artificial neural network training data must be normalized before the training process.
I have a code that can normalize your data into spesific range that you want.
p = [4 4 3 3 4;
2 1 2 1 1;
2 2 2 4 2];
a = min(p(:));
b = max(p(:));
ra = 0.9;
rb = 0.1;
pa = (((ra-rb) * (p - a)) / (b - a)) + rb;
Let say you want to normalize p into 0.1 to 0.9.
p is your data.
ra is 0.9 and rb is 0.1.
Then your normalized data is pa

If you use the standard programs e.g., FITNET, PATTERNNET, TIMEDELAYNET, NARNET & NARXNET,
All of the normalization and de-normalization is done automatically (==>DONWORRIBOUTIT).
All you have to do is run the example programs in, e.g.,
help fitnet
doc fitnet
If you need additional sample data
help nndatasets
doc nndatasets
For more detailed examples search in the NEWSGROUP and ANSWERS. For example

The best combination to use for a MLP (e.g., NEWFF) with one or more hidden layers is
1. TANSIG hidden layer activation functions
2. EITHER standardization (zero-mean/unit-variance: doc MAPSTD)
OR [ -1 1 ] normalization ( [min,max] => [ -1, 1 ] ): doc MAPMINMAX)
Convincing demonstrations are available in the comp.ai.neural-nets FAQ.
For classification among c classes, using columns of the c-dimensional unit matrix eye(c) as targets guarantees that the outputs can be interpreted as valid approximatations to input conditional posterior probabilities. For that reason, the commonly used normalization to [0.1 0.9] is not recommended.
WARNING: NEWFF automatically uses the MINMAX normalization as a default. Standardization must be explicitly specified.
Hope this helps.

Standardization means zero-mean/unit-variance.
My preferences:
1. TANSIG in hidden layers
2. Standardize reals and mixtures of reals and binary.
3. {-1,1} for binary and reals that have bounds imposed by math or physics.
Hope this helps.

In general, if you decide to standardize or normalize, each ROW is treated SEPARATELY.
If you do this, either use MAPSTD, MAPMNMX, or the following:
[I N] = size(p)
%STANDARDIZATION
meanp = repmat(mean(p,2),1,N);
stdp = repmat(std(p,0,2),1,N);
pstd = (p-meanp)./stdp ;
%NORMALIZATION
minp = repmat(min(p,[],2),1,N);
maxp = repmat(max(p,[],2),1,N);
pn = minpn +(maxpn-minpn).*(p-minp)./(maxp-pmin);
Hope this helps

plz can u help me in this that after training with normalized data, how can I get the network (using gensim command) that works on unnormalized input, since I have created and trained the network using normalized input and output?

mu_input=mean(trainingInput); std_input=std(trainingInput); trainingInput=(trainingInput(:,:)-mu_input(:,1))/std_input(:,1);
I hope this will serve your purpose

in case of matrix data, the min and max value corresponds to a column or the whole dataset. E.g. i have 5 input columns of data, in this case whether i should choose min/max for each column and do the normalization or min/max form all over the column and calculate.
