Keywords: custom algorithms
Problem: How to train an algorithm that performs fature extraction followed by classifier training
Solution: Use the algorithm sda_featex
.
Let us assume a problem where we want to build a two-stage algorithm performing a feature extraction step and then training a classifier in the resulting feature space. Very common example of two-stage algorithm is a PCA dimensionality reduction followed by a classifier.
