International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 9/445
G06K 9/62
G06F 15/18

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a feature configuration for a feature. Next, the system obtains, from the feature configuration, an anchor containing metadata for accessing the feature in an environment. The system then uses one or more attributes of the anchor to retrieve one or more feature values of the feature from the environment. Finally, the system provides the one or more feature values for use with one or more machine-learning models.

G06F 15/18

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains feature configurations for a set of features. Next, the system obtains, from the feature configurations, an anchor containing metadata for accessing a first feature in an environment and a feature derivation for generating a second feature from the first feature. The system then uses the anchor to retrieve feature values of the first feature from the environment and uses the feature derivation to generate additional feature values of the second feature from the feature values of the first feature. Finally, the system provides the additional feature values for use with one or more machine learning models.
