This code normalizes feature values in training and testing datasets by dividing them by 255.0, effectively converting pixel values from a range of [0, 255] to [0, 1]. This is a common normalization technique in deep learning, suitable for image classification problems.

Cell 11

x_train = train_features/255.0
x_test = test_features/255.0

What the code could have been:

import numpy as np

def normalize_features(train_features, test_features):
    """
    Normalizes the training and testing features by dividing them by a scalar value.

    Args:
        train_features (numpy.ndarray): Training features.
        test_features (numpy.ndarray): Testing features.

    Returns:
        x_train (numpy.ndarray): Normalized training features.
        x_test (numpy.ndarray): Normalized testing features.
    """

    # Ensure input data are numpy arrays
    train_features = np.asarray(train_features)
    test_features = np.asarray(test_features)

    # Define the normalization scalar value
    NORMALIZATION_SCALAR = 255.0

    # Normalize the features
    x_train = train_features / NORMALIZATION_SCALAR
    x_test = test_features / NORMALIZATION_SCALAR

    return x_train, x_test

# Example usage:
x_train, x_test = normalize_features(train_features, test_features)
