Observations List or one by one

Having a list of float called hist

Code (CSharp):

1. List<float> hist =histograma.GetListaCompleto();

Is it better to pass the Observation by a list like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. sensor.AddObservation(hist);

or one by one with a for:

Code (CSharp):

1. foreach (float cubo in histograma.getListaCompleto())
2.         {
3.             sensor.AddObservation(cubo);
4.         }

And also, why can I only pass the list with floats? Does it matter if I pass them as an int (as they are always Integers)?

 

The reason that you have to pass the observation as float is neural networks work weights between 0-1. Therefore your floats will be normalized aka mapped in range(0,1) It is not a good way to feed your neural network with integers because of the normalization.

Giving as a list or one by one should not change the results.

 

So if I have a map of obejcts in which I have to refernce 4 colours, how would you do it?
It is okay to pass as white: 0, black: 1, green: 2 and red: 3? or should I pass it as 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1?

 

You can give with a hot encoder. Look at this thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/giving-an-enum-as-an-observation-in-collectobservations.921926/

 

The array of observations is an array of 144 elements that can be form 0 to 3, if I do it that way, is not a problem to have a observation vector that big?

 

First of all, array with a 144 elements is too much. Try to decrease the element count

 

I have to give tha map of the elements int he matrix, that are 144. How can I do it?
