Feature Selection Using a Multilayer Perceptron
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of selecting the best set of features for target recognition using a multilayer perceptron is addressed in this paper. A technique has been developed which analyzes the weights in a multilayer perceptron to determine which features the network finds important and which are unimportant. A brief introduction to the use of multilayer perceptrons for classification and the training rules available is followed by the mathematical development of the saliency measure for multilayer perceptrons. The technique is applied to two different image databases and is found to be consistent with statistical techniques and independent of the network initial conditions. The saliency measure is then used to compare the results of two different training rules on a target recognition problem.

Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient is an efficient feature representation method for extracting human-audible audio signals. However, its representation of features is large and redundant. Therefore, feature selection is required to select the optimal subset of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient features. The performance of two types of feature selection techniques; Orthogonal Least Squares and...

In this paper a new scheme of feature ranking and hence feature selection using a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Network has been proposed. The novelty of the proposed MLP-based scheme and its difference from another MLP-based feature ranking scheme have been analyzed. In addition we have modified an existing feature ranking/selection scheme based on fuzzy entropy. Empirical investigations show th...
