Automatic feature extraction from a relational database

Abstract

Techniques facilitating automatic feature extraction from a relational database are provided. In an embodiment, a method can include generating an entity graph based on a relational database, wherein the entity graph comprises a first node associated with a first table in the relational database and a second node associated with a second table in the relational database. In another embodiment, the method can include joining the first table and the second table based on an edge between the first table and the second table defined by the entity graph, wherein a resulting joined table is connected by a column of data. In another embodiment, the method can include extracting a feature from the column of data using a data mining algorithm selected from a set of data mining algorithms based on a type of data in the column of data.
