Abstract
A facility providing systems and methods for discovering novel features to use in machine learning techniques. The facility receives, for a number of subjects, one or more sets of data representative of some output or condition of the subject over a period of time or capturing some physical aspect of the subject. The facility then extracts or computes values from the data and applies one or more feature generators to the extracted values. Based on the outputs of the feature generators, the facility identifies novel feature generators for use in at least one machine learning process and further mutates the novel feature generators, which can then be applied to the received data to identify additional novel feature generators.
