Abstract. This paper addresses a task of variable selection which consists in choosing a subset of variables that is sufficient to predict the target label well. Here instead of tr...
Variable selection for cluster analysis is a difficult problem. The difficulty originates not only from the lack of class information but also the fact that high-dimensional data ...

One of the important components of a local search strategy for satisfiability testing is the variable selection heuristic, which determines the next variable to be flipped. In a...
Random Forests were introduced by Breiman for feature (variable) selection and improved predictions for decision tree models. The resulting model is often superior to AdaBoost and ...

Coordinate gradient learning is motivated by the problem of variable selection and determining variable covariation. In this paper we propose a novel unifying framework for coordi...
Sparsity-promoting L1-regularization has recently been succesfully used to learn the structure of undirected graphical models. In this paper, we apply this technique to learn the ...

In classification, with an increasing number of variables, the required number of observations grows drastically. In this paper we present an approach to put into effect the maxi...
This paper discusses variable selection for medical decision making; in particular decisions regarding when to provide treatment and which treatment to provide. Current variable se...
– Constructive algorithms are effective methods for designing Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with good accuracy and generalization capability, yet with parsimonious network str...
