Abstract:
Various embodiments select features from a feature space. In one embodiment a set of features and a class value are received. A redundancy score is obtained for a feature that was previously selected from the set of features. A redundancy score is determined, for each of a plurality of unselected features in the set of features, based on the redundancy score that has been obtained, and a redundancy between the unselected feature and the feature that was previously selected. A relevance to the class value is determined for each of the unselected features. A feature from the plurality of unselected features with a highest relevance to the class value and a lowest redundancy score is selected.
