Abstract

Deep learning approaches require collection of data on many different input features or variables for accurate model training and prediction. Since data collection on input features could be costly, it is crucial to reduce the cost by selecting a subset of features and developing a budget-constrained model (BCM). In this paper, we introduce an approach to eliminating less important features for big data analysis using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Once a DNN model has been developed, we identify the weak links and weak neurons, and remove some input features to bring the model cost within a given budget. The experimental results show our approach is feasible and supports user selection of a suitable BCM within a given budget.
