Machine learning feature recommendation

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory is configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions which when executed cause the one or more processors to:
• generate a pre-trained model trained to predict a measure of expected model performance based at least in part on a feature relevance score associated with a text field data type;
• receive a specification of a desired target field for machine learning prediction and one or more text fields storing input content;
• calculate a corresponding feature relevance score for each of the one or more text fields storing the input content;
• based on the corresponding calculated feature relevance scores, predict a corresponding measure of expected model performance for each of the one or more text fields storing the input content using the pre-trained model;
• and
• provide the predicted measures of expected model performance for use in feature selection among the one or more text fields storing the input content for generating a machine learning model to predict the desired target field.

A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• generating a pre-trained model trained to predict a measure of expected model performance based at least in part on a feature relevance score associated with a text field data type;
• receiving a specification of a desired target field for machine learning prediction and one or more text fields storing input content;
• calculating a corresponding feature relevance score for each of the one or more text fields storing the input content;
• based on the corresponding calculated feature relevance scores, predicting a corresponding measure of expected model performance for each of the one or more text fields storing the input content using the pre-trained model;
• and
• providing the predicted measures of expected model performance for use in feature selection among the one or more text fields storing the input content for generating a machine learning model to predict the desired target field.
