What we’re about

Welcome data practitioners and open source aficianados ⁠— of all backgrounds and experience levels!

We are a group of data engineers, feature engineers and data scientists who want to build high performance, resilient predictive models.

Feature engineering is a critical part of the machine learning life cycle, but it is time consuming and complicated. In many cases more of an art than a science, the quality of your feature engineering ultimately determines the performance of your models.

This group will be focused on all aspects of feature engineering including:

  • Analyzing, cleaning and preparing base data to construct features:
  • Feature construction via transformations
  • Understanding and addressing a multitude of challenges that cause non-optimal feature construction
  • Building and Operationalizing models using the right features

We’re an online and in-person data-enthusiast group hosting live and online speaking events on a range of topics related to:

  • Data Engineering
  • Open Source
  • Machine Learning
  • Feature Engineering
  • Predictive Modeling

Join us in person if possible or on one of our live streams!
