Feature Engineering

Video Summary

Feature engineering is the process of transforming raw data into features that are more useful for machine learning algorithms. This can involve creating new features, removing or modifying existing features, and/or transforming features into different formats. The goal of feature engineering is to improve the performance of machine learning models by making them more predictive. Feature engineering is a critical part of the machine learning process, and it can often make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful model. However, it can also be a time-consuming and challenging process. It is important to have a good understanding of the data and the machine learning algorithms that will be used in order to create effective features.
