Mastering Feature Engineering Principles and Techniques for Data Scientists
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Zheng Alice
Feature engineering is essential to applied machine learning, but using
domain knowledge to strengthen your predictive models can be difficult and
expensive. To help fill the information gap on feature engineering, this
complete hands-on guide teaches beginning-to-intermediate data scientists
how to work with this widely practiced but little discussed topic.
Author Alice Zheng explains common practices and mathematical principles to help engineer features for new data and tasks. If you understand basic machine learning concepts like supervised and unsupervised learning, you’re ready to get started. Not only will you learn how to implement feature engineering in a systematic and principled way, you’ll also learn how to practice better data science.
