Data-Centric Feature Discovery

Build a scalable feature discovery and engineering process
with reusable feature assets.

A Paradigm Shift for Enterprise Data

Benefit from a fundamental shift in how enterprise organizations develop curated data and accumulate domain and data “know-hows” as reusable assets.​​

Key Features of dotData Feature Factory

dotData Feature Factory automates feature engineering, offering tools for temporal, categorical, geo, and text feature discovery. With built-in cleansing and seamless integration, it simplifies creating ML-ready features.

Temporal & Time-Series Features

Temporal & Time-Series Features

Analyze temporal relationships, extract recency, seasonality, fluctuation, etc. by optimizing time resolutions (hours, days, weeks, etc.)

Categorical Feature Discovery

Categorical Feature Discovery

Regularized target encoding beyond common one-hot encoding, extract multi-category patterns, numeric featurization like histogram encoding, and more!

Discover & Develop Geo Features

Discover & Develop
Geo Features

Analyze numeric and/or categorical attributes based on geo-locational geo-mapping, target distribution as grid-target encoding beyond common longitude and latitude features.

Analyze Text Data & Discover Text Features

Analyze Text Data & Discover Text Features

Extract high-order topic features that eliminate redundancy with a diagonalization technique. You can apply your domain dictionary to handle domain-specific terminologies.

Supervised Feature Search & Optimization

Supervised Feature Search & Optimization

Apply patented supervised-learning-based feature search, selection, and optimization techniques to discover the most relevant features to your target variables.

Prevent Overfit, Collinearity, Drift, and Leakage

Prevent Overfit, Collinearity, Drift, and Leakage

Produce a high-quality feature set by applying multiple techniques to prevent feature over-fitting, collinearity, draft, and leakage.

Fine-Tune Features for ML Algorithms

Fine-Tune Features for
ML Algorithms

You can optionally specify your preferred ML algorithm such as linear regression, gradient boosting, neural network and fine-tune features that are suitable for the selected ML algorithm.

Built-in Data and Feature Cleansing

Built-in Data and Feature Cleansing

Apply categorical / string value canonicalization, duplicate record removal, missing value imputation, data outlier elimination, target outlier elimination, etc. as a part of feature generation pipelines.

Accelerate Feature Discovery and Engineering from Day One

dotData Feature Factory accelerates feature discovery from day one, automating complex processes and enabling teams to scale from experiments to production-ready solutions. By transforming manual workflows into a data-centric, reusable system, dotData empowers data science teams to explore more ideas, streamline feature engineering, and rapidly turn insights into action.

Start Feature Discovery from Day One

Start Feature Discovery from Day One

Getting Started is Hard

Feature discovery requires deep data and domain knowledge. Involving different experts and stakeholders and the complexity and size of enterprise data add to this, making getting started difficult.

Jump-Start Your Process

Feature Factory automatically suggests feature spaces by analyzing your enterprise data. Analyze relational, transactional, temporal, and geolocation data to kick-start feature discovery and engineering and identify signals from day one.

Data-Centric and Programmatic Approach To Explore More Ideas

Data-Centric and Programmatic Approach To Explore More Ideas

Manual Process Limits Your Ideas

Feature Engineering has – traditionally – been a highly manual, artisanal process. Your team’s ideas are constrained by a lack of time and resources, constraining the discovery of new and interesting paths.

Programmatic, Data-Centric Feature Engineering

Feature Factory lets you define feature spaces and auto-generates 100X broader feature hypotheses using a data-driven approach that expands your reach and your team’s ability to experiment adding to your existing data and feature knowledge.

Transform Your “Know-How” into Reusable Assets

Transform Your “Know-How” into Reusable Assets

Feature Engineering is too Disposable

Feature engineering goes beyond simple SQL queries. Complex data operations and transformations, ETL, data cleansing, and feature transformations take time and require multiple iterations. However, the ad-hoc nature of this process means that when features are identified for specific use cases, the transformation steps taken to get there are usually lost in a sea of unused Jupyter notebooks.

Reusable Assets for Feature Engineering

dotData Feature Factory introduces the concept of reusable feature engineering assets. Stop reinventing the wheel by leveraging a repository of all recorded steps associated with discovered features, allowing your data science team to expand on already available feature discovery assets to accelerate their workflow.

From Jumbled Notebooks to Production-Ready Feature Pipelines

From Jumbled Notebooks to Production-Ready Feature Pipelines

Hard to Take Features from Lab to Production

Feature discovery is typically performed inside each data scientist’s Jupyter Notebook. Notebooks quickly become an overwhelming jumble of code and are poorly managed or organized without standardization. Transforming this mess into production code can be challenging at best.

From Experiments to Production-Ready Code, Quickly

Feature Factory makes it simple for data science teams to build transparent, readable, and maintainable feature pipelines that are scaleable and cover edge cases when processing new data. Accelerate the process of moving from experiments to production with dotData Feature Factory.
