A computing system creates interaction features from variable values in a transformed dataset that includes a variable value computed for each variable of transformed variables computed from a prior execution of a transformation flow applied to an input dataset. An interaction transformation flow definition indicates a subset of the transformed variables, a synthesis definition, and interaction transformation operations to apply to the transformed variables. The synthesis definition describes how the subset of the transformed variables are combined to compute a value input to the interaction transformation operations. A plurality of variable combinations of the subset is defined. A computation is defined for each combination and interaction transformation operation. An operation data value is computed for each computation from the transformed dataset. An observation vector is read from the transformed dataset and a current interaction variable value is synthesized for each combination. A result value is computed for each combination.
