[[Dense feature]]s in [[machine learning]] refer to those with a [[high-dimension]]al [[vector]] representation, where each dimension is usually either [[continuous]] or [[categorical]] value. It means that most or all of the values of the [[feature]] are nonzero. Dense features are commonly employed in [[neural network]]s where they can be processed by multiple [[layer]]s of [[neuron]]s for producing predictions. In contrast, [[sparse feature]]s have a [[low-dimension]]al vector representation with many dimensions either zero or missing. | |||

Dense features are frequently employed in machine learning tasks like image and speech recognition, as they provide detailed information about the input data. Unfortunately, processing dense features may prove computationally expensive if your input data is very large or high-dimensional. | Dense features are frequently employed in [[machine learning tasks]] like [[image recognition|image] and [[speech recognition]], as they provide detailed information about the [[input]] [[data]].

One way to reduce the computational expense of processing dense features is through techniques such as dimensionality reduction or feature selection, which aim to minimize the number of dimensions in a feature vector while retaining as much information as possible. | One way to reduce the computational expense of processing dense features is through techniques such as [[dimensionality reduction]] or [[feature selection]], which aim to minimize the number of dimensions in a [[feature vector]] while retaining as much information as possible. | ||

Machine learning relies on features, or pieces of information, to make predictions. Some features are "dense," meaning they contain many numbers that describe them - like how bright each pixel in a picture - which can make us quite accurate but also difficult for computers to interpret. | Machine learning relies on features, or pieces of information, to make predictions.
