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.

Feature selection and blind source separation in an EEG-based brain-computer interface

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that signal processing and machine learning methods can be used to discriminate EEG in a direct "yes"/"no" BCI from a single session and the results suggest that BSS and feature selection can be use to improve the performance of even a "direct," single-session BCI.

Efficiently handling feature redundancy in high-dimensional data

TL;DR: This paper provides a study of feature redundancy in high-dimensional data and proposes a novel correlation-based approach to feature selection within the filter model that is efficient and effective in removing redundant and irrelevant features.

Feature subset selection using a new definition of classifiability

TL;DR: The proposed approach to subset selection based on a novel definition of the classifiability of a given data characterizes the relative ease with which some labeled data can be classified and is at least as good as that obtained with the wrapper approach.

Space Structure and Clustering of Categorical Data

TL;DR: A novel data-representation scheme for the categorical data, which maps a set of categorical objects into a Euclidean space is designed and a general framework for space structure based categorical clustering algorithms (SBC) is designed.

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.
