L1 (also referred to as the 1-norm or Lasso) penalty based formulations have been shown to be effective in problem domains when noisy features are present. However, the L1 penalty...
Background: Feature selection is an approach to overcome the 'curse of dimensionality' in complex researches like disease classification using microarrays. Statistical m...
Background: Feature selection is a pattern recognition approach to choose important variables according to some criteria in order to distinguish or explain certain phenomena (i.e....
Abstract In this paper we present a new method for Joint Feature Selection and Classifier Learning (JFSCL) using a sparse Bayesian approach. These tasks are performed by optimizing...
Statistical machine learning methods are employed to train a Named Entity Recognizer from annotated data. Methods like Maximum Entropy and Conditional Random Fields make use of fe...
