Abstract
En 中文
The classification of functional or high-dimensional data requires to select a reduced subset of features among the initial set, both to help fighting the curse of dimensionality and to help interpreting the problem and the model. The mutual information criterion may be used in that context, but it suffers from the difficulty of its estimation through a finite set of samples. Efficient estimators are not designed specifically to be applied in a classification context, and thus suffer from further drawbacks and difficulties. This paper presents an estimator of mutual information that is specifically designed for classification tasks, including multi-class ones. It is combined to a recently published stopping criterion in a traditional forward feature selection procedure. Experiments on both traditional benchmarks and on an industrial functional classification problem show the added value of this estimator. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
