Would you liken the use of embeddings (from a neural network) to extraction of implicit features? Or can we think of it more like what a PCA would do (i.e. dimensionality reduction)?
In this particular example, do you think the granularity of the data matter - as in per day or per week or per month? Is one better vs the other?
What is the test set? Is it from some time after the training data?
Do you know if there’s any work that compares (for structured data) supervised embeddings like these ones to embeddings that come from an unsupervised paradigm (e.g. autoencoder)? It seems like you’d get more useful-for-prediction embeddings with the former case, but if you wanted “general purpose” embeddings, you might prefer the latter.

When you use embeddings from a supervised model in another model, do you have to worry about data leakage?
How is the googletrend and weather datasets obtained. I dont see it in the Kaggle data.
ok I got it from one of the discussion post. https://www.kaggle.com/c/rossmann-store-sales/discussion/17229

Is this similar to windowing function?
is there a reason to think that the current approach would be problematic with sparse data?
For the features that are “time until” an event, how do you deal with that given that not you might not know when the last event is in the data?
