چکیده

A large number of algorithms have been proposed for doing feature subset selection. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the quality of feature subsets generated by the various algorithms, and also compare their computational requirements. Our results show that the sequential forward floating selection (SFFS) algorithm, proposed by Pudil et al., dominates the other algorithms tested. This paper also illustrates the dangers of using feature selection in small sample size situations. It gives the results of applying feature selection to land use classification of SAR satellite images using four different texture models. Pooling features derived from different texture models, followed by a feature selection results in a substantial improvement in the classification accuracy. Application of feature selection to classification of handprinted characters illustrates the value of feature selection in reducing the number of features needed for classifier design.

Online Streaming Feature Selection Using Geometric Series of the Adjacency Matrix of Features

Feature Selection (FS) is an important pre-processing step in machine learning and data mining. All the traditional feature selection methods assume that the entire feature space is available from the beginning. However, online streaming features (OSF) are an integral part of many real-world applications. In OSF, the number of training examples is fixed while the number of features grows with t...
