Abstract: 

Many advanced predictive analysis problems require non-trivial features from large-scale enterprise relational tables with billions of records. How can data scientists discover features on large, disparate data sets and develop insightful features, faster and more efficiently? This talk discusses and demonstrates recent advancements in feature engineering automation (AutoFE) integrated with Apache Spark using dotdata’s Automated feature factory.
