Feature Engineering

At Marketways Arabia, we pride ourselves on harnessing the power of feature engineering techniques for our machine learning models. Working on Machine Learning (ML) projects for our clients in the Middle East in cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, etc., we have created feature engineering techniques ranging from latent, behavioural, and causal variables to text-based, temporal, spatial, and beyond. Our heavy emphasis on high quality feature engineering results in enhanced Machine Learning model performance across diverse applications across industries such as Retail, Education, Real Estate, Travel, and more.

Feature engineering serves as the cornerstone of effective machine learning. It encompasses the process of transforming raw data into meaningful features that facilitate model training, validation, and prediction. At Marketways Arabia, we go beyond conventional methodologies, leveraging a wide array of techniques, including advanced econometric models, NLP, spatial analysis, and computer vision, to extract actionable insights and drive predictive accuracy.

Diverse Types of Feature Groups

Marketways Arabia specializes in a multitude of feature groups, each tailored to specific data types, tasks, and industries:

  1. Latent Features: Uncovering hidden dimensions within datasets using advanced econometric techniques.
  2. Cognitive Features: Capturing aspects related to mental processes such as attention, perception, memory, and decision-making.
  3. Causal Features: Identifying cause-and-effect relationships to drive informed decision-making.
  4. Mathematically Derived Features: Creating new features through mathematical operations or transformations.
  5. Text-Based Features: Extracting insights from textual data using NLP techniques.
  6. Computer Vision-Based Features: Extracting insights from images using computer vision techniques.
  7. Temporal Features: Analyzing patterns and trends over time to understand temporal dynamics.
  8. Spatial Features: Leveraging geographical data to uncover spatial relationships and patterns.
  9. Frequency-Based Features: Quantifying the frequency of events or occurrences within a dataset.
  10. Interaction Features: Capturing relationships between variables through interactions and combinations.
  11. Domain-Specific Features: Incorporating industry-specific features relevant to the domain.
