This paper covers feature extraction for automatic handwritten signature verification. Several major feature selection techniques are investigated from a practical perspective to realise an optimal signature verification system, and customised feature set selection based on set-on-set distance measurement is presented. The experimental results have proved the proposed methods to be efficient, offering considerably improved verification performance compared to conventional methods. Also, they dramatically reduce the processing complexity in the verification system.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms are being treated by early diagnosis, where we can only slow the symptoms and research is still undergoing. In consideration, using T1-weighted images several classification models are proposed in Machine learning to identify AD. In this paper, we consider the improvised feature selection, to reduce the complexity by using wrapping techniques and Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). This present work used the subcortical and cortical features of 278 subjects from the ADNI dataset to identify AD and sMRI. Multi-class classification is used for the experiment i.e., AD, EMCI, LMCI, HC. The proposed feature selection consists of Forward feature selection, Backward feature selection, and Combined PCA & RBM. Forward and backward feature selection methods use an iterative method starting being no features in the forward feature selection and backward feature selection with all features included in the technique. PCA is used to reduce the dimensions and RBM is used to select the best feature without interpreting the features. We have compared the three models with PCA to analysis. The following experiment shows that combined PCA &RBM, and backward feature selection give the best accuracy with respective classification model RF i.e., 88.65, 88.56% respectively.

We consider the feature recombination technique in a multiband approach to speaker identification and verification. To overcome the ineffectiveness of conventional feature recombination in broadband noisy environments, we propose a new subband feature recombination which uses subband likelihoods and a subband reliable-feature selection technique with an adaptive noise model. In the decision step of speaker recognition, a few very low unreliable feature likelihood scores can cause a speaker recognition system to make an incorrect decision. To overcome this problem, reliable-feature selection adjusts the likelihood scores of an unreliable feature by comparison with those of an adaptive noise model, which is estimated by the maximum a posteriori adaptation technique using noise features directly obtained from noisy test speech. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in noisy environments, we use the TIMIT database and the NTIMIT database, which is the corresponding telephone version of TIMIT database. The proposed subband feature recombination with subband reliable-feature selection achieves better performance than the conventional feature recombination system with reliable-feature selection.

패턴 인식 문제에서 중요한 전처리 과정 중 하나는 특정을 선택하거나 추출하는 부분이다. 특정을 추출하는 방법으로는 PCA가 보통 사용되고 특정을 선택하는 방법으로는 SFS 나 SBS 등의 방법들이 자주 사용되고 있다. 본 논문은 진화 연산 방법으로써 비선형 최적화 문제에서 유용하게 사용되어 지고 있는 유전자 알고리즘을 특정 선택에 적용하는 유전자 알고리즘 특정 선택 (Genetic Algorithm Feature Selection: GAFS)방법을 개발하여 다른 특징 선택 알고리즘과의 비교를 통해 본 알고리즘의 성능을 관찰한다.

Feature selection is one of the most challenging problems of pattern recognition and data mining. In this paper, a feature selection algorithm based on an improved version of binary differential evolution is proposed. The method simultaneously optimizes two feature selection criteria, namely, set approximation accuracy of rough set theory and relational algebra based derived score, in order to select the most relevant feature subset from an entire feature set. Superiority of the proposed method over other state-of-the-art methods is confirmed by experimental results, which is conducted over seven publicly available benchmark datasets of different characteristics such as a low number of objects with a high number of features, and a high number of objects with a low number of features.

특징 선택은 기계 학습에서 분류의 성능을 높이기 위해 사용되는 방법이다. 여러 방법들이 개발되고 사용되어 오고 있으나, 전체 데이터에서 최적화된 특징 부분집합을 구성하는 문제는 여전히 어려운 문제로 남아있다. 생태계 모방 알고리즘은 생물체들의 행동 원리 등을 기반으로하여 만들어진 진화적 알고리즘으로, 최적화된 해를 찾는 문제에서 매우 유용하게 사용되는 방법이다. 특징 선택 문제에서도 생태계 모방 알고리즘을 이용한 해결방법들이 제시되어 오고 있으며, 이에 본 논문에서는 생태계 모방 알고리즘을 이용한 특징 선택 방법을 개선하는 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 잘 알려진 생태계 모방 알고리즘인 유전자 알고리즘(GA)과 파티클 집단 최적화 알고리즘(PSO)을 이용하여 데이터에서 가장분류 성능이 우수한 특징 부분집합을 만들어 내도록 하고, 최종적으로 개별 특징의 사전 중요도를 설정하여 생태계 모방 알고리즘을 개선하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 개별 특징의 우수도를 구할 수 있는 mRMR이라는 방법을 이용하였다. 이렇게 설정한 사전 중요도를 이용하여 GA와 PSO의 진화 연산을 수정하였다. 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법들의 성능을 검증하였다. GA와 PSO를 이용한 특징 선택 방법은 그 분류 정확도에 있어서 뛰어난 성능을 보여주었다. 그리고 최종적으로 제시한 사전 중요도를 이용해 개선된 방법은 그 진화 속도와 분류 정확도 면에서 기존의 GA와 PSO 방법보다 더 나아진 성능을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

The performance of text classification is highly related to the feature selection methods. Usually, two tasks are performed when a feature selection method is applied to construct a feature set; 1) assign score to each feature and 2) select the top-N features. The selection of top-N features in the existing filter-based feature selection methods is biased by their discriminative power and the empirical process which is followed to determine the value of N. In order to improve the text classification performance by presenting a more illustrative feature set, we present an approach via a potent representation learning technique, namely DBN (Deep Belief Network). This algorithm learns via the semantic illustration of documents and uses feature vectors for their formulation. The nodes, iteration, and a number of hidden layers are the main parameters of DBN, which can tune to improve the classifier's performance. The results of experiments indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method to increase the classification performance and aid developers to make effective decisions in certain domains.

Text clustering is one of the most commonly used methods for detecting themes or types of documents. Text clustering is used in many fields, but its effectiveness is still not sufficient to be used for the understanding of Arabic text, especially with respect to terms extraction, unsupervised feature selection, and clustering algorithms. In most cases, terms extraction focuses on nouns. Clustering simplifies the understanding of an Arabic text like the text of the Quran; it is important not only for Muslims but for all people who want to know more about Islam. This paper discusses the complexity and limitations of Arabic text clustering in the Quran based on their themes. Unsupervised feature selection does not consider the relationships between the selected features. One weakness of clustering algorithms is that the selection of the optimal initial centroid still depends on chances and manual settings. Consequently, this paper reviews literature about the three major stages of Arabic clustering: terms extraction, unsupervised feature selection, and clustering. Six experiments were conducted to demonstrate previously un-discussed problems related to the metrics used for feature selection and clustering. Suggestions to improve clustering of the Quran based on themes are presented and discussed.

This paper aims to find the most effective feature selection method for the sake of opinion mining tasks. Basically, opinion mining tasks belong to sentiment analysis, which is to categorize opinions of the online texts into positive and negative from a text mining point of view. By using the five product groups dataset such as apparel, books, DVDs, electronics, and kitchen, TF-IDF and Bag-of-Words(BOW) fare calculated to form the product review feature sets. Next, we applied the feature selection methods to see which method reveals most robust results. The results show that the stacking classifier based on those features out of applying Information Gain feature selection method yields best result.
