Feature engineering is a crucial stage in any machine learning project. It allows you to use data to define features that enable machine learning algorithms to work properly. In this course, you will learn the techniques that will help you create new features from existing features. You’ll start by diving into label encoding which is crucial for converting categorical features into numerical. You’ll also learn about other various types of encoding such as: one-hot, count, and mean, all of which are important for feature engineering. In the remaining chapters, you’ll learn about feature interaction and datetime features. In all, this course will show you the many different ways you can create features from existing ones.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
