Feature selection is a crucial preprocessing step in data analytics and machine learning. Classical feature selection algorithms select features based on the correlations between predictive features and the class variable and do not attempt…
Data pruning, or instance selection, is an important problem in machine learning especially in terms of nearest neighbour classifier. However, in data pruning which speeds up the prediction phase, there is an issue related to the speed and…
Classification, the process of assigning a label (or class) to an observation given its features, is a common task in many applications. Nonetheless in most real-life applications, the labels can not be fully explained by the observed…
