Problem

Describe your process for feature engineering when working with unstructured datasets.

Address how you inspect and clean raw data, represent text or other unstructured inputs, combine engineered features with metadata, prevent leakage, and validate that features improve a downstream model. Include practical considerations for sparse representations, missing or noisy content, feature selection, reproducibility, and production consistency.
