This example demonstrates a one-hot encoding function that converts an array of categorical object labels into a binary matrix format suitable for training neural networks in Keras. The code defines `one_hot_encode_object_array`, which uses NumPy’s `np.unique` with `return_inverse=True` to map each unique string to an integer ID, then passes those IDs to `np_utils.to_categorical` from Keras to produce the final encoded vectors. It applies this transformation separately to training and testing label arrays (`train_y` and `test_y`), storing the results as `train_y_ohe` and `test_y_ohe` for subsequent model building.
