Description for Feature Engineering for Machine Learning
Paperback. 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 this complete guide teaches beginning-to-intermediate data scientists how to work with this widely practiced but little discussed topic. Num Pages: 200 pages. BIC Classification: UY. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 233 x 178 x 15. Weight in Grams: 666.
Feature engineering is a crucial step in the machine-learning pipeline, yet this topic is rarely examined on its own. With this practical book, you'll learn techniques for extracting and transforming features-the numeric representations of raw data-into formats for machine-learning models. Each chapter guides you through a single data problem, such as how to represent text or image data. Together, these examples illustrate the main principles of feature engineering. Rather than simply teach these principles, authors Alice Zheng and Amanda Casari focus on practical application with exercises throughout the book. The closing chapter brings everything together by ... Read more
