Any solution consists of a deliverable model that results from training an algorithm on a sufficiently large dataset. The process of selecting and adapting the dataset is by far the most time-consuming step and the one with the greatest impact on the final solution. It is estimated that data preparation in a real-life scenario can consume up to 80 percent of the whole project budget. In fact, data preparation ...
