Abstract—We point out a problem inherent in the optimization scheme of many popular feature selection methods. It follows from the implicit assumption that higher feature selecti...
Crucial to the more widespread use of evolutionary computation techniques is the ability to scale up to handle complex problems. In the field of genetic programming, a number of d...
Abstract. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are well-established Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. They rely on the fact that i) linear learning can be formalized as a well-posed opti...
Abstract. Practical pattern classification and knowledge discovery problems require selecting a useful subset of features from a much larger set to represent the patterns to be cl...
Greedy algorithms are simple, but their relative power is not well understood. The priority framework [5] captures a key notion of “greediness” in the sense that it processes (...
