Automatic Feature Engineering
Overview
Feature Engineering is the process of identifying features in a given dataset, creating new features based on insights from data and preparing the features relevant to the models selected. The techniques used in this process are called transformers.
This is usually an iterative, time-consuming process for data scientists and often takes the majority of their time when building machine learning pipelines.
Automatic Feature Engineering
H2O Driverless AI automates the entire feature engineering process:
• Detect relevant features in a given dataset
• Find the interactions within those features
• Handling missing values
• Derive new features from data
• Compare the existing and the newly generated features
• Show the relative importance of each of these features
Outcome of H2O Driverless AI automatic feature engineering:
The input features are now transformed into meaningful values that the machine learning algorithms can easily consume.
