Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to perform feature selection. After having loaded and explored the features, you saw how to transform them using discretization and binarization. You also converted categoric features into dummy variables. You understood the importance of feature selection and ranked the features using the information gain ratio. In the next chapter, we will predict the language using machine learning techniques.
