{</* resource-info */>} Feature engineering is the process of transforming raw data into variables that machine learning models can use effectively. It is also the most time-consuming, expertise-dependent phase of a typical ML pipeline. A Forbes survey from 2016 found that data scientists spend 80% of their time on data preparation — much of it on feature engineering. Nearly a decade later, despite advances in AutoML, manual feature creation remains a bottleneck. ...
