摘要

En 中文
Reinforced feature selection (RFS) applies reinforcement learning to feature selection, which can continue to learn the procedure of feature selection and then effectively find the optimal feature subset from original features. Q-learning with Fisher score (QLFS), a kind of filtering RFS algorithm, adopts the Fisher score to construct the internal reward and then achieves good performance on large-scale data sets. However, it is hard for QLFS to automatically determine how many features should be selected. To remedy it, this paper proposes a novel RFS method, called Q-learning based on collaborative agents (QLCA). To implement automatic feature selection, QLCA adopts two agents to collaboratively learn the optimal strategies. One agent, called selection agent, is used to select features, where the Fisher scores of feature subsets are taken as the reward; while the other agent, called classification agent, is to determine how many features should be chosen, where the classification performance of a classifier on selected features is regarded as the reward. The selection agent provides feature subsets for the classification agent, while the classification agent gives the classification performance to the selection agent. In doing so, these two agents work well together in QLCA. Extensive experiments were conducted on several small and large real-world data sets. According to statistical analysis on experimental results, QLCA is significantly better than QLFS. Findings indicate that QLCA can effectively and automatically perform feature selection.
