With the exponential increase of the data scale, the problem of feature selection has been the focus in statistical pattern recognition. In this paper, a new modified forward deep floating searching algorithm (SDFFS) is proposed to select a feature subset of d features from the original candidate-set of D features (d < D), which is an improvement of the state of the art SFFS algorithm. The SDFFS...
In data mining, a well known problem of “Curse of Dimensionality” occurs due to presence of large number of dimensions in a dataset. This problem leads to reduced accuracy of machine learning classifiers because of presence of many insignificant and irrelevant dimensions or features in the dataset. Data mining applications such as bioinformatics, risk management, forensics etc., generally involves...
Identification of minimum number of local regions of a handwritten character image, containing well-defined discriminating features which are sufficient for a minimal but complete description of the character is a challenging task. A new region selection technique based on the idea of an enhanced Harmony Search methodology has been proposed here. The powerful framework of Harmony Search has been utilized...
Currently, There are many E-commerce websites around the internet world. These E-commerce websites can be categorized into many types which one of them is C2C (Customer to Customer) websites such as eBay and Amazon. The main objective of C2C websites is an online market place that everyone can buy or sell anything at any time. Since, there are a lot of products in the E-commerce websites and each...
Feature selection is based on the notion that redundant and/or irrelevant variables bring no additional information about the data classes and can be considered noise for the predictor. As a result, the total feature set of a dataset could be minimized to only few features containing maximum discrimination information about the class. Classification accuracy is used as the evaluation measure in guiding...
For most of data sets, there exist some redundant, irrelevant and even noise features. Usually, there are plenty of features in medical data sets and the correlation among features is strong. So, feature selection of medical data sets gets great concern in recent years. RELIEFF is one of the effective feature selection algorithms, but cannot remove redundant features. RS is a mathematical approach...
This paper presents the experiments on feature selection for emotional speech classification. There are 152 features used in this experiment. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) feature selection is applied as the features selection. The experiments are constructed from two corpora; Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP) and Emotional Tagged Corpus on Lakorn (EMOLA) which...
The paper presents the comparison of two genetic methods that can be used for feature selection, NSGA (Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm) and GAAM (genetic algorithm with aggressive mutation). While the first method is very popular for optimizing multi-objective functions, the second one is a new method that was introduced just two years ago. The comparison was made with a benchmark file from...
Face analysis is of great interest in the context of digital signage to understand soft biometric of a person. Among the others information gathered from a face, the age of a person is still an open challenging problem. Face representation takes an important role for real time age discrimination. LBP descriptor and the related variants (e.g., CLBP) have been demonstrated to obtain the state-of-the-art...
In computer vision tasks such as action recognition and image classification, combining multiple visual feature sets is proven to be an effective strategy. However, simply combing these features may cause high dimensionality and lead to noises. Feature selection and fusion are common choices for multiple feature representation. In this paper, we propose a multi-view feature selection and fusion method...
A Sign Language Recognition (SLR) system enables communication between hearing disabled individuals and those who can hear and speak. With the prevalence of the wearable computers, this technology is becoming an important human computer interface capable of reading hand gestures and inferring user;s intent. In this paper, we propose a real-time American SLR system leveraging fusion of surface electromyography...
The data mining applications such as bioinformatics, risk management, forensics etc., involves very high dimensional dataset. Due to large number of dimensions, a well known problem of “Curse of Dimensionality” occurs. This problem leads to lower accuracy of machine learning classifiers due to involvement of many insignificant and irrelevant dimensions or features in the dataset. There are many methodologies...
This paper proposes a short-term energy price classification model using decision tree. The proposed model does not predict the exact value of future electricity price, but the class to which it belongs, established with respect to pre-specified threshold. This strategy is proposed since for some applications, the exact value of future prices is not required for the decision-making process. A feature...
In this paper, a Multi-Objective Extended Genetic Programming (MOEGP) algorithm is developed to evolve the structure of the Hierarchical Flexible Beta Fuzzy System (HFBFS). The proposed algorithm allows finding the best representation of the hierarchical fuzzy system while trying to attain the desired balance of accuracy/interpretability. Furthermore, the free parameters (Beta membership functions...
As increase in the internet services and usage with open access to sensitive data, necessity of security to these systems had become a need of the hour. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) provide an important layer of security for computer systems and networks, and are becoming more and more crucial issue. To detect the attacks hitting the network it is very obligatory to properly monitor the flow...
Mars rover is a robot which explores the Mars surface, is equipped to front-line Panoramic Camera (Pancam). Automatic processing and segmentation of images taken by Pancam is one of the most important and most significant tasks of Mars rover since the transformation cost of images from Mars to earth is extremely high. In this paper, a new feature vector for image pixels will be proposed as well as...
Learning to rank has considered as a promising approach for ranking in information retrieval. In recent years feature selection for learning to rank introduced as a crucial issue. Reducing the feature set by removing irrelevant and redundant features can improve the prediction performance. In this paper we address the problem of filter feature selection for ranking. We propose to apply minimum redundancy...
Outcome prediction plays a vital role in cancer treatment. It can help to update and optimize the treatment planning. In this paper, we aim to find discriminant features from both PET images and clinical characteristics, so as to predict the outcome of a treatment to adapt the therapy. As both information sources are imprecise, we propose a novel feature selection method based on Dempster-Shafer theory...
Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography — Computed Tomography (FDG PET-CT) is the preferred imaging modality for staging the lymphomas. Sites of disease usually appear as foci of increased FDG uptake. Thresholding is the most common method used to identify these regions. The thresholding method, however, is not able to separate sites of FDG excretion and physiological FDG uptake (sFEPU) from...
Image-derived features (“radiomics”) are increasingly being considered for patient management in (neuro)oncology and radiotherapy. In Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), simple features are often used by clinicians in clinical practice, such as the size of the tumor or the relative sizes of the necrosis and active tumor. First order statistics provide a limited characterization power because they do not...
