Understanding Feature Space in Machine Learning
- 1. Understanding Feature Space in Machine Learning Alice Zheng, Dato September 9, 2015 1
- 2. 2 My journey so far Applied machine learning (Data science) Build ML tools Shortage of experts and good tools.
- 3. 3 Why machine learning? Model data. Make predictions. Build intelligent applications.
- 4. 4 The machine learning pipeline I fell in love the instant I laid my eyes on that puppy. His big eyes and playful tail, his soft furry paws, … Raw data Features Models Predictions Deploy in production
- 5. Feature = numeric representation of raw data
- 6. 6 Representing natural text It is a puppy and it is extremely cute. What’s important? Phrases? Specific words? Ordering? Subject, object, verb? Classify: puppy or not? Raw Text {“it”:2, “is”:2, “a”:1, “puppy”:1, “and”:1, “extremely”:1, “cute”:1 } Bag of Words
- 7. 7 Representing natural text It is a puppy and it is extremely cute. Classify: puppy or not? Raw Text Bag of Words it 2 they 0 I 1 am 0 how 0 puppy 1 and 1 cat 0 aardvark 0 cute 1 extremely 1 … … Sparse vector representation
- 8. 8 Representing images Image source: “Recognizing and learning object categories,” Li Fei-Fei, Rob Fergus, Anthony Torralba, ICCV 2005—2009. Raw image: millions of RGB triplets, one for each pixel Classify: person or animal? Raw Image Bag of Visual Words
- 9. 9 Representing images Classify: person or animal? Raw Image Deep learning features 3.29 -15 -5.24 48.3 1.36 47.1 - 1.92 36.5 2.83 95.4 -19 -89 5.09 37.8 Dense vector representation
- 10. 10 Feature space in machine learning • Raw data high dimensional vectors • Collection of data points point cloud in feature space • Model = geometric summary of point cloud • Feature engineering = creating features of the appropriate granularity for the task
- 11. Crudely speaking, mathematicians fall into two categories: the algebraists, who find it easiest to reduce all problems to sets of numbers and variables, and the geometers, who understand the world through shapes. -- Masha Gessen, “Perfect Rigor”
- 12. 12 Algebra vs. Geometry a b c a2 + b2 = c2 Algebra Geometry Pythagorean Theorem (Euclidean space)
- 13. 13 Visualizing a sphere in 2D x2 + y2 = 1 a b c Pythagorean theorem: a2 + b2 = c2 x y 1 1
- 14. 14 Visualizing a sphere in 3D x2 + y2 + z2 = 1 x y z 1 1 1
- 15. 15 Visualizing a sphere in 4D x2 + y2 + z2 + t2 = 1 x y z 1 1 1
- 16. 16 Why are we looking at spheres? = = = = Poincaré Conjecture: All physical objects without holes is “equivalent” to a sphere.
- 17. 17 The power of higher dimensions • A sphere in 4D can model the birth and death process of physical objects • Point clouds = approximate geometric shapes • High dimensional features can model many things
- 19. 19 The challenge of high dimension geometry • Feature space can have hundreds to millions of dimensions • In high dimensions, our geometric imagination is limited - Algebra comes to our aid
- 20. 20 Visualizing bag-of-words puppy cute 1 1 I have a puppy and it is extremely cute I have a puppy and it is extremely cute it 1 they 0 I 1 am 0 how 0 puppy 1 and 1 cat 0 aardvark 0 zebra 0 cute 1 extremely 1 … …
- 21. 21 Visualizing bag-of-words puppy cute 1 1 1 extremely I have a puppy and it is extremely cute I have an extremely cute cat I have a cute puppy
- 22. 22 Document point cloud word 1 word 2
- 23. 23 What is a model? • Model = mathematical “summary” of data • What’s a summary? - A geometric shape
- 24. 24 Classification model Feature 2 Feature 1 Decide between two classes
- 25. 25 Clustering model Feature 2 Feature 1 Group data points tightly
- 26. 26 Regression model Target Feature Fit the target values
- 28. 28 When does bag-of-words fail? puppy cat 2 1 1 have I have a puppy I have a cat I have a kitten Task: find a surface that separates documents about dogs vs. cats Problem: the word “have” adds fluff instead of information I have a dog and I have a pen 1
- 29. 29 Improving on bag-of-words • Idea: “normalize” word counts so that popular words are discounted • Term frequency (tf) = Number of times a terms appears in a document • Inverse document frequency of word (idf) = • N = total number of documents • Tf-idf count = tf x idf
- 30. 30 From BOW to tf-idf puppy cat 2 1 1 have I have a puppy I have a cat I have a kitten idf(puppy) = log 4 idf(cat) = log 4 idf(have) = log 1 = 0 I have a dog and I have a pen 1
- 31. 31 From BOW to tf-idf puppy cat1 have tfidf(puppy) = log 4 tfidf(cat) = log 4 tfidf(have) = 0 I have a dog and I have a pen, I have a kitten 1 log 4 log 4 I have a cat I have a puppy Decision surface Tf-idf flattens uninformative dimensions in the BOW point cloud
- 32. 32 Entry points of feature engineering • Start from data and task - What’s the best text representation for classification? • Start from modeling method - What kind of features does k-means assume? - What does linear regression assume about the data?
- 33. 33 That’s not all, folks! • There’s a lot more to feature engineering: - Feature normalization - Feature transformations - “Regularizing” models - Learning the right features • Dato is hiring! jobs@dato.com alicez@dato.com @RainyData

- Features sit between raw data and model. They can make or break an application.
