Feature extraction – feature engineering

Feature extraction is one of the crucial steps toward building a learning system. If you did a good job in this challenge by selecting the proper/right number of features, then the rest of the learning process will be easy. Also, feature extraction is domain dependent and it requires prior knowledge to have a sense of what features could be important for a particular task. For example, the features for our fish recognition system will be different from the ones for spam detection or identifying fingerprints.

The feature extraction step starts from the raw data that you have. Then build derived variables/values (features) that are informative about the learning task and facilitate the next steps of learning and evaluation (generalization).

Some tasks will have a vast number of features and fewer training samples (observations) to facilitate the subsequent learning and generalization processes. In such cases, data scientists use dimensionality reduction techniques to reduce the vast number of features to a smaller set.
