Feature Engineering: What It Is and How to Leverage It in Your Data Science Journey
By Data Science Connect
Predictive modeling success hinges on selecting the features that are most likely to affect the desired outcome and sub-optimal featuring engineering is one of the culprits behind poorly performing models. Today more art than science, feature engineering is a difficult process even for the most experienced data scientist.
In this session, we will discuss:
- What is feature engineering and what does the process look like
- Where does feature engineering fit in the machine learning life cycle
- The importance of data pipelines in feature selection
- The downstream modeling impacts of feature selection
- Ways that data scientists can improve this process
Other topics this year will include:
- Exploratory data analysis
- Solving the cold start problem by choosing the right candidate features
- Post processing
- Integrating feature engineering into your broader modeling process
- Feature engineering best practices
