What you'll learn

It is no secret that Data Scientists spend a very large proportion of their time preparing data. In this course, Feature Selection and Extraction in Microsoft Azure, you'll gain the ability to prepare your data for use in your machine learning models. First, you'll learn how to extract features from raw data, including non-text formats. Next, you'll discover how to normalize features, converting your data to a common scale without distorting your data. Finally, you'll explore how to select those features that are more relevant to your model. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of feature extraction, normalization, and selection needed to prepare your data. Software required: Azure ML Studio classic.
