Large language models are increasingly used as open-ended search operators in evolutionary optimization. We introduce Evolutionary Feature Engineering (EFE), a framework for using LLM-based evolution to discover preprocessing transformations for structured data.

arXiv:2607. 23286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic feature engineering (AutoFE) for tabular learning can be naturally formulated as a program synthesis problem, where the objective is to discover predictive feature transformations from an exponentially large search space.
