Description

MLP currently only supports scalar dependent variables for MLP classification. If a user has already one-hot encoded categorical variables the dependent variable will be an array, and hence unusable with mlp_classification. This feature request is to allow the use of one-hot encoded array for dependent vars in MLP classification.
