AN INCREMENTAL APPROACH TO MSE-BASED FEATURE SELECTION

An Incremental Approach to MSE-Based Feature Selection

Feature selection plays an important role in classification systems. Using classifier error rate as the evaluation function, feature selection is integrated with incremental training. A neural network classifier is implemented with an incremental training approach to detect and discard irrelevant features. By learning attributes one after another, our classifier can find directly the attributes...

An Ensemble Based Approach for Feature Selection

This paper proposes an ensemble based approach for feature selection. We aim at overcoming the problem of parameter sensitivity of feature selection approaches. To do this we employ ensemble method. We get the results per different possible threshold values automatically in our algorithm. For each threshold value, we get a subset of features. We give a score to each feature in these subsets. Fi...

A Graph-Based Approach to Feature Selection

A Hypergraph-Based Approach to Feature Selection

In many data analysis tasks, one is often confronted with the problem of selecting features from very high dimensional data. The feature selection problem is essentially a combinatorial optimization problem which is computationally expensive. To overcome this problem it is frequently assumed that either features independently influence the class variable or do so only involving pairwise feature...

An Evolutionary Approach to Feature Set Selection

This paper investigates an ensemble feature selection algorithm that is based on genetic algorithms. The task of ensemble feature selection is harder than traditional feature selection in that one not only needs to find features germane to the learning task and learning algorithm, but one also needs to find a set of feature subsets that will promote disagreement among the ensemble’s classifiers...
