A label-specific multi-label feature selection algorithm based on the Pareto dominance concept

作者:

Highlights:

• Unlike common multi-label feature selection, the proposed method derives from different cognitive standpoint.

• Feature selection process is directly done on multi-label data, and there is no need to data transformation.

• The proposed method tries to find label-specific features which are the most discriminative features for each label.

• Also, an extension of our method is presented which selects a pre-defined number of features.

• The proposed method is appropriate to both numerical and nominal features.

• The proposed method is effective and fast.
