feature engineering

“If you look at, you know, who wins most of the Kaggle competitions, it tends to be, you know, combinations of ensembles of different algorithms, but it's really the feature engineering.”

“And deep learning basically opens the possibility that you, to automate the process of feature engineering. So, it essentially learns to, It integrates the process of producing good representations with the process of learning a classifier in one fell swoop.”

“In deep learning, you're not doing feature engineering anymore. Nobody cares about what you know about the domain.”

“Because you're deliberately creating this data, because you're creating it in a very schematized way, it's much quicker to get to the feature Engineering, it's much quicker to get to the model training.”
