Automatic feature engineering: including and excluding features

kypexin

Hi there,

Is there a simple way to explicitly exclude certain features from optimization / selection process? Which means, I want to run feature selection, but I have a few features that I want to leave in a feature set no matter what, so they are not automatically removed during selection.

更新:我已经找到了我rkaround, however it complicates the process flow a bit: using SET ROLE to change role of given attributes from regular to smth else, and then change it back to regular before training final model and applying it to test subset:



This also requires that APPLY FEATURE SET keeps originals and makes special role for them:



So far, my concern is whether it would be more convenient just to have an additional setting in AUTOMATIC FEATURE ENGINEERING operator to explicitly exclude or include a certain attributes subset?

Hi,

This is a good idea - we should move this to the product ideas section to see if it gets some upvotes or is picked up by product management,@sgenzer

Thanks@IngoRM @sgenzer

I think this can be implemented for example using standard operator setting for choosing attributes (like in SELECT ATTRIBUTES): single, subset, etc
