This document provides a summary of a 30-minute presentation on feature selection in Python. The presentation covered several common feature selection techniques in Python like LASSO, random forests, and PCA. Code examples were provided to demonstrate how to perform feature selection on the Iris dataset using these techniques in scikit-learn. Dimensionality reduction with PCA and word embeddings with Gensim were also briefly discussed. The presentation aimed to provide practical code examples to do feature selection without explanations of underlying mathematics or theory.
