SAN MATEO, California, FEBRUARY 18, 2025—dotData, announced the launch of dotData Feature Factory 1.3, a major upgrade to its automated feature engineering and discovery platform, designed to help data scientists extract deeper insights, accelerate ML model development, and seamlessly integrate with the latest AI technologies.
With groundbreaking enhancements in AI-powered feature discovery, automated text processing, and expanded LLM support, dotData Feature Factory 1.3 delivers a transformative experience for AI, data science, and machine learning teams—eliminating bottlenecks, reducing manual effort, and surfacing predictive signals faster than ever.
Breakthrough Capabilities in dotData Feature Factory 1.3
Progressive Feature Augmentation
dotData Feature Factory 1.3 enables you to incrementally discover features that orthogonally augment your existing features or the residuals of your predictions. With this new capability, you can avoid rediscovering redundant features and iteratively build more predictive features.
AI Column Enrichment
dotData Feature Factory 1.3 introduces an innovative, AI-powered Column Enrichment capability that intelligently combines columns to reveal more predictive features. Unlike traditional statistical methods that can produce pseudo-correlations or unintelligible combinations, dotData leverages generative AI to assess both domain context and the interpretability of column combinations, in addition to their statistical significance.
Automated Feature Engineering from Text
dotData Feature Factory 1.3 automatically applies NLP (natural language processing) techniques and extracts features from unstructured text, such as sales reports, customer reviews, call center transcripts, and employee interviews. By combining text features with numeric, categorical, and timestamp data, you can unlock greater predictive power hidden in raw text.
Expanded LLM Support
dotData Feature Factory 1.3 now supports two LLM frameworks to enhance feature engineering:
- Amazon Bedrock, which provides access to a variety of state-of-the-art LLMs (e.g., Claude 3.5).
- vLLM, which allows you to leverage custom LLMs that can be fine-tuned for specific domains.
Broad Support for Popular Data Science Environments
dotData Feature Factory 1.3 supports the newest data science environments so you can benefit from the latest innovations in the data science ecosystem:
- Python 3.11 (Python 3.8 has been discontinued as it reached End of Life)
- Databricks Runtime 14.3 and 15.4, along with Apache Spark 3.5.2
- Amazon EMR 7.5.0
- Snowpark Container Services on Azure
dotData Feature Factory 1.3 allows data teams to discover richer signals, dramatically reduce feature engineering time, and scale AI-powered workflows with unprecedented flexibility. Whether surfacing new features, enhancing text-based data, or leveraging the latest AI and LLM technology, dotData Feature Factory 1.3 delivers the most advanced feature engineering experience.
