Effect of Metalearning on Feature Selection Employment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Feature Selection is important to improve learning performance, reduce computational complexity and decrease required storage. There are multiple methods for feature selection, with varying impact and computational cost. Therefore, choosing the right method for a given data set is important. In this paper, we analyze the advantages of metalearning for feature selection employment. This issue is relevant because a wrong decision may imply additional processing, when FS is unnecessarily applied, or in a loss of performance, when not used in a problem for which it is appropriate. Our results showed that, although there is an advantage in using metalearning, these gains are not yet sufficiently relevant, which opens the way for new research to be carried out in the area.

Metalearning for Feature Selection
A general formulation of optimization problems in which various candidate solutions may use different feature-sets is presented, encompassing supervised classification, automated program learning and other cases. A novel characterization of the concept of a “good quality feature” for such an optimization problem is provided; and a proposal regarding the integration of quality based feature sele...

متن کاملUsing Metalearning to Predict When Parameter Optimization Is Likely to Improve Classification Accuracy
Work on metalearning for algorithm selection has often been criticized because it mostly considers only the default parameter settings of the candidate base learning algorithms. Many have indeed argued that the choice of parameter values can have a significant impact on accuracy. Yet little empirical evidence exists to provide definitive support for that argument. Recent experiments do suggest ...
