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.

Driver Sleepiness Classification Based on Physiological Data and Driving Performance From Real Road Driving

TL;DR: If signal analysis and machine learning can be used to develop an accurate sleepiness warning system is investigated, and a random forest classifier was found to be the most robust classifier with an accuracy of 94.1%.

Realisable Classifiers: Improving Operating Performance on Variable Cost Problems.

TL;DR: A novel method is described for obtaining superior classification performance over a variable range of classification costs by analysis of a set of existing classifiers using a receiver operating characteristic and a new system is shown to produce the , a powerful technique for improving classification systems in problem domains within which classification costs may not be known.

Feature selection using ant colony optimization (ACO): a new method and comparative study in the application of face recognition system

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel feature selection method that is based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), inspired of ant's social behavior in their search for the shortest paths to food sources and its computational complexity is very low.

Fast sequential floating forward selection applied to emotional speech features estimated on DES and SUSAS data collections

TL;DR: This paper classifies speech into several emotional states based on the statistical properties of prosody features estimated on utterances extracted from Danish Emotional Speech and a subset of Speech Under Simulated and Actual Stress data collections, demonstrating that gender and accent information reduce the classification error.

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.

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.
