In order to predict the outcome variable (y variable) you need to turn all the object type columns into numeric in order to predict the Sale Price. So first, I converted all the ordinal columns into numeric by assigning them by numbers, and for all the other features I created dummy variables.

When dealing with large datasets with many columns and variables, feature extracting is used to divide and reduce existing data into a manageable group.
But for image processing, machines can't extract features such as edges, shapes, or even size in this way
Transfer learning consists of taking features learned on one problem, and leveraging them on a new, similar problem. For instance, features from a model that has learned to identify racoons may be useful to kick-start a model meant to identify tanukis.
