An Evolutionary Approach to Feature Set Selection

نویسنده

  • David W. Opitz
چکیده

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. Our algorithm shows improved performance over the popular and powerful ensemble approaches of AdaBoost and Bagging.

Feature Selection for Small Sample Sets with High Dimensional Data Using Heuristic Hybrid Approach

Feature selection can significantly be decisive when analyzing high dimensional data, especially with a small number of samples. Feature extraction methods do not have decent performance in these conditions. With small sample sets and high dimensional data, exploring a large search space and learning from insufficient samples becomes extremely hard. As a result, neural networks and clustering a...

A New Framework for Distributed Multivariate Feature Selection

Feature selection is considered as an important issue in classification domain. Selecting a good feature through maximum relevance criterion to class label and minimum redundancy among features affect improving the classification accuracy. However, most current feature selection algorithms just work with the centralized methods. In this paper, we suggest a distributed version of the mRMR featu...
