Can a model read the word Delhi?

Short answer. No. It must be encoded as numbers.

What range does normalising use?

0 to 1.

Two fixes

Normalise: scale numbers to 0-1
Encode: turn text into numbers
One-hot: Delhi = 1 0 0

Remember

Same scale for numbers
Numbers for text

Models only read numbers. So what about words? Two fixes help. Normalising scales numbers from zero to one. Encoding turns text into numbers. One hot writes Delhi as one, zero, zero. Same scale for numbers. Numbers for text.
