Description

Feature engineering is invaluable for developing and enriching your machine learning models. In this cookbook, you will work with the best tools to streamline your feature engineering pipelines and techniques and simplify and improve the quality of your code. Using Python libraries such as pandas, scikit-learn, Featuretools, and Feature-engine, you’ll learn how to work with both continuous and discrete datasets and be able to transform features from unstructured datasets. You will develop the skills necessary to select the best features as well as the most suitable extraction techniques. This book will cover Python recipes that will help you automate feature engineering to simplify complex processes. You’ll also get to grips with different feature engineering strategies, such as the box-cox transform, power transform, and log transform across machine learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing (NLP) domains. By the end of this book, you’ll have discovered tips and practical solutions to all of your feature engineering problems.

I was exactly what I needed to know!

This book contains all the recipes that are needed for any aspiring data scientist. It contains very good examples that are easy to follow with a good theory explanation on what you are doing.Some basic python knowledge is needed before hand as it wont start from scratch, it is assumed that you have already faced issues with your feature engineering pipelines.The author of this book has created a master piece of art with the feature engineering library, very easy to use and with awesome results.This book became one of my favorite ones very fast!! A must read if you are pursuing a DS/ML/AI position

Kevin Nov 29, 2022

As other reviews have stated the book delivers what it says it will; Python code that generates a lot of feature-engineering. I find this book to be fantastic, and Sole's work overall, as it gives life to new feature-engineering possibilities and does it fast. Long gone are the days of writing your own custom transformers or unique time-series features. This book automates a lot of that headache and will absolutely be the first reference I go to when I need to handle a new feature. I personally hadn't dealt with tsfresh prior to reading through and it brought to life instantaneous time-series features I no longer have to write scripts for. A very happy customer on that knowledge alone! Per usual, Sole continues to advance the ML community for the betterment of all.

Thorough recollection of feature transformations to tackle multiple aspects of data quality and to extract features from different data formats, like text, time series and transactions. Great resource to have at hand when in front of a new dataset.

The Python Feature Engineering Cookbook (PFEC) delivers exactly what the name implies. It’s a collection of recipes targeted at specific tasks; if you’re working in an AI or ML environment and have a need to massage variable data, handle math functions, or normalize data strings, this book will quickly earn a place on your shelf. Each recipe is presented in a standardized format that walks you through the theory and implementation of the code performing the function. Short introductions and appropriate external references provide background for every task, and as long as you have a reasonable familiarity with pandas, scikit-learn, Numpy, Python, and Jupyter, you’ll find a number of uses for the techniques covered.It’s not designed to be a tutorial for those just starting out with machine learning, and isn’t written in a style that invites casual reading. The material tends toward the dry side. While the author does an admirable job of distilling the necessary information into the basic framework of prepare-perform-review, PFEC definitely falls into the reference book category as opposed to being a guide for the uninitiated.In short, you’ll want to have PFEC around if you’re involved in a project that requires hands-on data manipulation in a Python machine-learning environment. Paired with a good guide to ML basics and implementation, it’ll keep you from reinventing quite a few wheels.
