A new hybrid feature selection approach using feature association map for supervised and unsupervised classification

作者:

Highlights:

• The algorithm visually partitions the redundant and non-redundant features.

• Visual partition enables right strategy adoption for right group of features.

• Graph-theoretic principle (vertex cover,independent set) used for subset selection.

• Algorithm applies for both supervised as well as unsupervised feature selection.

• Better results (accuracy/purity) than benchmark supervised/unsupervised algorithms.
