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 for IoT based on maximal information coefficient

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed method achieves better performance than the comparison methods, markedly reducing feature dimensionality in order to process the tremendous quantities of data in IoT.

Using Information Gain Attribute Evaluation to Classify Sonar Targets

TL;DR: In the authors' experiments, IG attribute evaluation significantly improves C4.5 decision tree and shows that feature selection helps increase computational efficiency while improving classification accuracy.

Large Margin Feature Weighting Method via Linear Programming

TL;DR: This paper considers feature selection method for multimodally distributed data, and presents a large margin feature weighting method for k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classifiers, which aims at separating different classes by large local margins and pulling closer together points from the same class.

Fuzzy criteria for feature selection

TL;DR: This paper proposes to use fuzzy criteria in feature selection by using a fuzzy decision making framework, which allows for a more flexible definition of the goals infeature selection, and avoids the problem of weighting different goals is classical multi-objective optimization.

Using cooperative game theory to optimize the feature selection problem

TL;DR: The framework first introduces a cooperative game theoretic method based on Shapley value to evaluate the weight of each feature according to its influence to the intricate and intrinsic interrelation among features, and provides the weighted features to feature selection algorithm.

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.
