Feature Extraction

[ˈfiːtʃər ɪkˈstrækʃən]
Machine Learning
Last updated: December 9, 2024

Definition

The process of identifying and extracting distinctive characteristics from data for further analysis.

Detailed Explanation

Feature extraction involves identifying key points, patterns, or characteristics that uniquely represent content. This can include low-level features (edges, corners, texture) or high-level features (shapes, objects). Modern approaches often use deep learning to automatically learn relevant features from data. It transforms data into a lower-dimensional space while retaining meaningful information.

Use Cases

Image processing (edge detection) text analysis (word embeddings) signal processing (frequency components) audio recognition (spectrogram analysis) bioinformatics.
