"Simplify Feature Engineering in your Data Warehouse with FeatureByte" by Kenny Chua & Yung Siang Liau

Feature Engineering is critical to successful delivery of AI solutions. Crafting relevant features from organization data requires business domain knowledge and creativity, powered by human capital in data science teams.

With growing adoption of machine learning and AI in organisations, there is a pressing need to develop processes around ML development and deployment to maximise productivity with limited resources. While there is no lack of tools for ML model management, solutions for feature engineering remains inadequate.

At FeatureByte, we are developing an open source tool to simplify feature engineering and management. We strive to make feature engineering efficient, repeatable and enjoyable for data science practitioners so they can experiment and iterate fast, without overlooking important issues such as scalability, deployment and auditability. In this talk we will describe our approach and design, and give a demo to show how to create, deploy and serve features using your modern data warehouse.
