Wrappers for feature subset selection

Ron Kohavi, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1997 - 
- Vol. 97, Iss: 1, pp 273-324
TLDR
The wrapper method searches for an optimal feature subset tailored to a particular algorithm and a domain and compares the wrapper approach to induction without feature subset selection and to Relief, a filter approach tofeature subset selection.

Exact top-k feature selection via l 2,0 -norm constraint

TL;DR: Although the proposed model is not a convex problem, it outperforms the approximate convex counterparts and state-of-art feature selection methods evaluated in terms of classification accuracy by two popular classifiers.

Flash Point and Cetane Number Predictions for Fuel Compounds Using Quantitative Structure Property Relationship (QSPR) Methods

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the development of models for the prediction of two fuel properties: flash points (FPs) and cetane numbers (CNs), using quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR) approaches.

Accelerating wrapper-based feature selection with K-nearest-neighbor

TL;DR: Both the experimental results and theoretical analysis demonstrated that the proposed approach markedly accelerates the wrapper-based feature selection process without degrading the high classification accuracy, and the space complexity analysis indicated that the additional space overhead is affordable in practice.

Induction of Decision Trees

J. R. Quinlan
- 25 Mar 1986 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to synthesizing decision trees that has been used in a variety of systems, and it describes one such system, ID3, in detail, is described, and a reported shortcoming of the basic algorithm is discussed.
