Examples
In character recognition, features may include horizontal and vertical profiles, number of internal holes, stroke detection and many others.
In speech recognition, features for recognizing phonemes can include noise ratios, length of sounds, relative power, filter matches and many others.
In spam detection algorithms, features may include whether certain email headers are present or absent, whether they are well formed, what language the email appears to be, the grammatical correctness of the text, Markovian frequency analysis and many others.
In all these cases, and many others, extracting features that are measurable by a computer is an art, and with the exception of some neural networking and genetic techniques that automatically intuit "features", hand selection of good features forms the basis of almost all classification algorithms.
