9. Create Feature List

You'll generate a new feature list by prioritizing features with higher predictive scores, then seek additional signals not captured in the initial list.

Step 1: Create a New Feature List

Navigate to the Feature catalog from the Experiment section of the menu.

Name

Sort the Features by their predictive scores.

Name

Add the top 10 features to the Feature List Builder by clicking on the Plus Icon icon for each top 10 feature.

Name

Click on Name in the Feature List Builder to further explore and refine the selection.

This should take you to a window with the list details.

Name

Click on any feature to review its details.

Name

Review the semantic relevance by Generative AI and edit it if desired.

Name

Save Feature List as "Top10 Most Predictive for Activity Next Week" by clicking on Save List at the upper right of the window.

Name

Our new feature list is now part of the Feature List Catalog.

Name

Step 2: Evaluate Feature List

Click on the feature list we just created to review its details.

Name

Go to the 'Themes' tab to assess any missing themes in the list. By selecting the top 10 features, we left a lot of signal on the table. Although the feature list contains the top 10 most predictive features, a feature list with more diverse signal is likely to lead to better models.

Name

Step 3: Create a Diverse Feature List

Close window and click on Features Featue Catalog to return to the Feature Catalog.

Sort the Features by their predictive scores.

Name

Add the feature with the highest predictive score to the Feature List Builder by clicking on the Plus Icon icon of this feature.

Review the Builder's suggestions by clicking on themes in the 'Suggestions' section located at the bottom of the Feature List Builder.

Add the most predictive feature to the Builder by clicking on the Plus Icon icon of this feature.

We will repeat this for each missing theme:

  • Customer/GroceryInvoice/Stats
  • Customer/GroceryInvoice/Diversity
  • Customer/GroceryInvoice x InvoiceItems/Stability
  • Customer/InvoiceItems/Stats
  • Customer/GroceryInvoice/Recency
  • Customer/GroceryInvoice/Timing
  • Customer/InvoiceItems/Bucketing

Only for Customer/InvoiceItems/Diversity we will add a specific feature "CUSTOMER_Entropy_of_items_TotalCosts_by_product_ProductGroup_4w" to the Feature List Builder.

Name Name Name Name Name Name Name Name Name

We have now 11 features in the Feature List Builder.

Click on Name and save Feature List as "List with diverse signals".
