New framework optimizes feature engineering for ocean color machine learning

Researchers have developed a new framework to optimize feature engineering for machine learning models used in ocean color analysis. This framework involves seven sequential data transformation levels, including band choice, scaling, and principal component analysis. When applied to Sentinel-3 OLCI observations for estimating chlorophyll-a concentration and Secchi disk depth, the optimized features significantly improved model accuracy compared to standard algorithms, reducing mean absolute error by up to 63%. However, the study found no single optimized feature set universally applicable across all target variables and machine learning models, indicating that optimization is application-specific. AI
