• abstract = "Feature engineering is a key step in a machine learning study. We propose FERMAT, a grammatical evolution framework for the automatic discovery of an optimal set of engineered features, with enhanced ability to characterise data. The framework contains a grammar specifying the original features and possible operations that can be applied to data. The optimisation process searches for a transformation strategy to apply to the original dataset, aiming at creating a novel characterisation composed by a combination of original and engineered attributes. FERMAT was applied to two real-world drug development datasets and results reveal that the framework is able to craft novel representations for data that foster the predictive ability of tree-based regression models.",
