Abstract
In some aspects, a machine-learning model, which can transform input attribute values into a predictive or analytical output value, can be trained with training data grouped into attributes. A subset of the attributes can be selected and transformed into a transformed attribute used for training the model. The transformation can involve grouping portions of the training data for the subset of attributes into respective multi-dimensional bins. Each dimension of a multi-dimensional bin can correspond to a respective selected attribute. The transformation can also involve computing interim predictive output values. Each interim predictive output value can be generated from a respective training data portion in a respective multi-dimensional bin. The transformation can also involve computing smoothed interim output values by applying a smoothing function to the interim predictive output values. The transformation can also involve outputting the smoothed interim output values as a dataset for the transformed attribute.
