We perform a systematic evaluation of feature selection (FS) methods for support vector machines (SVMs) using simulated high-dimensional data (up to 5000 dimensions). Several findi...
Model selection strategies for machine learning algorithms typically involve the numerical optimisation of an appropriate model selection criterion, often based on an estimator of...
Random projection is a simple technique that has had a number of applications in algorithm design. In the context of machine learning, it can provide insight into questions such as...
This paper investigates a class of learning problems called learning satisfiability (LSAT) problems, where the goal is to learn a set in the input (feature) space that satisfies...

This paper formalizes Feature Selection as a Reinforcement Learning problem, leading to a provably optimal though intractable selection policy. As a second contribution, this pape...
