Abstract: 

Join us for a practical workshop focused on efficient feature engineering for machine learning. Throughout the session, we will explore various feature engineering concepts and demonstrate their implementation using the FeatureByte open source library.

Our workshop aims to provide participants with a straightforward approach to moving from feature ideas to practical deployment. By delving into a range of feature engineering strategies, attendees will gain a solid understanding of how to effectively utilize the FeatureByte library including automated feature ideation. Through hands-on activities, we will showcase how this approach can streamline the feature engineering process and contribute to better machine learning model outcomes.
