In this research paper, the authors propose an automated feature engineering framework called AutoMAN, which aims to relieve manual effort and improve model performance by effectively exploring the candidate transforms space. AutoMAN learns feature transform importance end-to-end, incorporating a dataset’s task target directly into feature engineering, resulting in state-of-the-art performance with significantly lower latency compared to alternatives.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
AutoMAN is an automated machine learning framework that helps relieve manual effort and improve model performance by automatically generating features from existing data. It works by learning which transformations are most important for each data set and task. This approach allows for faster and more accurate feature engineering, making it a valuable tool for machine learning practitioners.
