Feature Scaling vs Dimensionality Reduction

Developers should learn and use feature scaling when working with machine learning models that are sensitive to the scale of input features, such as support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, and linear regression with regularization meets developers should learn dimensionality reduction when working with high-dimensional datasets (e. Here's our take.

Feature Scaling

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use feature scaling when working with machine learning models that are sensitive to the scale of input features, such as support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, and linear regression with regularization

Pros

• It is essential in scenarios where features have different units or ranges (e
• Related to: data-preprocessing, machine-learning

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Dimensionality Reduction

Developers should learn dimensionality reduction when working with high-dimensional datasets (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: principal-component-analysis, t-distributed-stochastic-neighbor-embedding

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Feature Scaling if: You want it is essential in scenarios where features have different units or ranges (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Dimensionality Reduction if: You prioritize g over what Feature Scaling offers.

The Bottom Line

Feature Scaling wins

Developers should learn and use feature scaling when working with machine learning models that are sensitive to the scale of input features, such as support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, and linear regression with regularization
