DATABRICKS-CERTIFIED-PROFESSIONAL-DATA-SCIENTIST Question #107: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

In machine learning, feature hashing, also known as the hashing trick (by analogy to the kernel trick), is a fast and space-efficient way of vectorizing features (such as the words in a language), i.e., turning arbitrary features into indices in a vector or matrix. It works by applying a hash function to the features and using their hash values modulo the number of features as indices directly, rather than looking the indices up in an associative array. So what is the primary reason of the hashing trick for building classifiers?
