Normalization
Neural networks work best when the data they’re fed is normalized, constrained to a range between -1 and 1. There are several reasons for that. One is that nets are trained using gradient descent, and their activation functions usually having an active range somewhere between -1 and 1. Even when using an activation function that doesn’t saturate quickly, it is still good practice to constrain your values to this range to improve performance.

Interface for strategies that can normalize and denormalize data arrays based on statistics of the population
Pre processor for MultiDataSet that can be configured to use different normalization strategies for different inputs and outputs, or none at all. Can be used for example when one input should be normalized, but a different one should be untouched because it’s the input for an embedding layer. Alternatively, one might want to mix standardization and min-max scaling for different inputs and outputs.
By default, no normalization is applied. There are methods to configure the desired normalization strategy for inputs and outputs either globally or on an individual input/output level. Specific input/output strategies will override global ones.
