About this course

Understanding what parameters or features has what level of impact on the solution to a Machine Learning problem statement is key. If the talk is about using machine learning to solve a problem, then providing the algorithm with high-quality features is what makes the difference between a raw machine learning model and a very well-optimized one. Feature engineering is the most critical aspect of working with data and helping the machine understand the same. This is a skill that all analysts, data scientists, and machine learning engineers must possess. Now, keeping exactly this in mind, we have come up with this course on Feature Engineering to get you all started with the same. The instructor will also be covering a hands-on demonstration with an ample amount of examples to help concrete your understanding.

What is a Feature Engineering Example?

The most common Feature Engineering example is continuous data like the price of some products, coordinates of some object on the map, or the temperature of some industrial processes. You can also take examples of domain data, categorical data, etc.

 

What does Feature Engineering include?

Feature Engineering involves the creation, transformation, extraction, and selection of the features. These features are also known as variables, and these features help create an accurate Machine Learning Algorithm.  

 

What is the purpose of Feature Engineering?

Feature Engineering enhances the Machine Learning processes and helps in increasing the predictive power of these Machine Learning algorithms. This is achieved by creating the features from the raw data.

 

What are Feature Engineering Techniques?

Some of the critical Feature Engineering techniques include Imputation, Discretization, Categorical Encoding, Feature Splitting, Handling Outliers, Variable Transformations, Scaling, and Creating Features.     

 

What are the two steps of Feature Engineering?

Feature Engineering consists of four main steps: Feature Creation, Transformations, Feature Extraction, and Feature Selection. The processes it includes are testing features, deciding on the features to be created, creating the features, testing the impact of the created features on the task, improving the created features if needed, and repeating this process until you reach your result.
