Feature selection is an important preprocessing step in pattern analysis and machine learning. The key issue in feature selection is to evaluate quality of candidate features. In t...
We introduce a framework for filtering features that employs the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) as a measure of dependence between the features and the labels. The ...

This work proposes the use of maximal variation analysis for feature selection within least squares support vector machines for survival analysis. Instead of selecting a subset of ...

Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. Mutual information is a good indicator of relevance between variables, and has been used as a measure...
Abstract. In the artificial neural networks (ANNs), feature selection is a wellresearched problem, which can improve the network performance and speed up the training of the networ...
