TLDR
Sequential search methods characterized by a dynamically changing number of features included or eliminated at each step, henceforth "floating" methods, are presented and are shown to give very good results and to be computationally more effective than the branch and bound method.

Stress and anxiety detection using facial cues from videos

TL;DR: Specific facial cues, derived from eye activity, mouth activity, head movements and camera based heart activity achieve good accuracy and are suitable as discriminative indicators of stress and anxiety.

Remote sensing techniques for mangrove mapping

C. Vaiphasa
TL;DR: It was found that appropriate data treatments and analysis techniques were still required to harness essential information from both hyperspectral and ecological data, so it is hoped that the methodology presented will prove useful and will be followed for producing mangrove maps at a finer level.

Training cellular automata for image processing

TL;DR: The sequential floating forward search method for feature selection was used to select good rule sets for a range of tasks, namely noise filtering, noise filtering using threshold decomposition, thinning, and convex hulls.

Random subspace method for multivariate feature selection

TL;DR: A new multivariate search technique is introduced, that is less sensitive to the noise in the data and computationally feasible as well and the robustness and reliability of the novel multivariate feature selection method are compared.

A Branch and Bound Algorithm for Feature Subset Selection

TL;DR: In this paper, a branch and bound-based feature subset selection algorithm is proposed to select the best subset of m features from an n-feature set without exhaustive search, which is computationally computationally unfeasible.

A Direct Method of Nonparametric Measurement Selection

TL;DR: A direct method of measurement selection is proposed to determine the best subset of d measurements out of a set of D total measurements, using a nonparametric estimate of the probability of error given a finite design sample set.

On the effectiveness of receptors in recognition systems

TL;DR: Some of the theoretical problems encountered in trying to determine a more formal measure of the effectiveness of a set of tests are discussed; a measure which might be a practical substitute for the empirical evaluation.

On automatic feature selection

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of feature selection for multidimensional pattern classification is presented, and the potential benefits of Monte Carlo approaches such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms are compared.
