In August 1998, an interviewer for an Indonesian news weekly asked Amien Rais, a major figure in national Islamic politics and founder of the National Mandate Party (Partai Amanat Nasional), why he had altered the name of the party from the originally proposed Partai Amanat Bangsa. He replied, “We chose Partai Amanat Nasional because it would be better translated into English as National Mandat...

It is common in cheminformatics to represent the properties of a ligand as a string of 1's and 0's, with the intention of elucidating, inter alia, the relationship between the chemical structure of a ligand and its bioactivity. In this commentary we note that, where relevant but non-redundant features are binary, they inevitably lead to a classifier capable of capturing only a linear relationsh...

Traditional intrusion detection techniques examine all features to detect intrusion or misuse patterns. But all features are not relevant and some of them may be redundant and contribute little to the detection process. Irrelevant and redundant features may lead to complex intrusion detection model as well as poor detection accuracy. In this paper, we propose and investigate a novel hybrid feat...

Fault diagnosis of monoblock centrifugal pump as pattern recognition problem has three major steps. Feature extraction, Feature selection and classification. Numbers of advanced algorithms are being used for feature extraction and classification. However, all the features extracted from raw signal need not have useful information for the study. Presences of redundant features are also possible....

Hyperspectral image has high-dimensional Spectral–spatial features, those features with some noisy and redundant information. Since redundant features can have significant adverse effect on learning performance. So efficient and robust feature selection methods are make the best of labeled and unlabeled points to extract meaningful features and eliminate noisy ones. On the other hand, obtaining...
