The Feature Engineering Pipeline for Predictive Model Training is designed to streamline the process of creating features essential for machine learning models within the life sciences industry. The primary purpose of this DAG is to automate the extraction, transformation, and selection of relevant features from various data sources, including research data and model updates. The pipeline begins with the ingestion of new research data, which triggers the workflow. Data is then extracted from sources such as clinical trial results, laboratory information management systems (LIMS), and genomic databases. Following extraction, the data undergoes a series of transformation steps, including normalization, encoding categorical variables, and handling missing values. Quality control checks are implemented at each stage to ensure the relevance and accuracy of the features being generated. The selected features are stored in a centralized data warehouse, making them easily accessible for data scientists. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as processing time and feature quality metrics are monitored throughout the pipeline to assess efficiency and effectiveness. By automating the feature engineering process, this DAG significantly enhances the ability of life science organizations to develop predictive models, ultimately leading to improved decision-making and accelerated research outcomes.
