Automated Feature Engineering with Featuretools
EntitySet, DFS (Deep Feature Synthesis), feature primitives, stacking aggregations.
Automating Feature Creation
Manual feature engineering is slow and easy to miss combinations. Featuretools automatically builds many candidate features from relational data using a method called Deep Feature Synthesis.
Relational Data and Entities
Real data often spans multiple related tables: customers, orders, products. Featuretools models these relationships and generates features that aggregate across the links automatically.
