In domains where each sample costs real money, that’s the question that actually matters.When Random Features Work Just as Wellhttp://victoriadyster.com/blog/when-random-features-work-just-as-well/Mon, 20 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000http://victoriadyster.com/blog/when-random-features-work-just-as-well/On the counterintuitive finding that randomly selecting features from high-dimensional genomic data often matches the performance of careful feature engineering and why that makes mathematical sense.
