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!
