It is worth mentioning once more that enhancements of machine learning come in many forms. We generally consider our two main metrics as accuracy and prediction/fit times. This means that if we can utilize feature engineering tools to make our pipeline have higher accuracy in a cross-validated setting, or be able to fit and/or predict data quicker, ...
