Introduction

A feature cross is a machine learning technique that adds interaction features between features in a dataset. This technique can be used to capture non-linear relationships among features and improve performance of a model.

How it works

A feature cross creates new features by combining two or more existing features. If we have two features, for example, x1 + x2, a feature crossover would create a new feature, which is x1 *x2. This new feature captures the interaction of x1-x2 and can improve a model's performance.

Examples

A feature cross can be seen in the context polynomial regression. Polynomial regression allows us to add polynomial terms such as x12,x1*x2,x22, and so on. to capture non-linear relationships among the features.

Another example is the context of natural-language processing (NLP), which allows us to use feature crosses to capture interaction between different words within a sentence. In the sentence "The cat sat on a mat", we can create new features to capture the interaction between "cat", "sat", or "on" and the "mat."

A feature cross is a way to combine words. If you have the words "cat" or "sat", you could make a new word by adding them together. This can help a computer better understand the relationship between words, especially if they are related.

-===False Positive Rate (FPR) in Machine Learning==
+==Introduction==
-The false positive rate (FPR), in machine learning, is a measure for the percentage of negative instances that are incorrectly categorized as positive. It is simply the sum of the number of falsely positive instances and the total number negative instances. FPR is often used with the true positive rate, also known as recall or sensitivity, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of a binary classifier.

-[[Sensitivity and Specificity|Sensitivity]] and [[Specificity (medical test)|specificity]] are two other measures of a binary classifier's performance that are related to the FPR. Specificity is the ratio of true negatives to all negatives, while Sensitivity measures the ratio of true positives to all positives.

-In a [[Receiver operating characteristic|receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve]], the FPR is plotted against the true positive rate. The ROC curve shows the trade-off between FPR and TPR at different threshold settings for a binary classifier. The ROC curve can be used to indicate the performance of the classifier in general. Each point represents a threshold setting.

-False positive rate (FPR) can be used to determine how often a test which is supposed to give "no" actually gives "yes". False positives can be for example when a test claims you have a disease but you don't really have it. It is important to understand how often this happens in order to decide if the test should be used.
