Title:Study Features via Exploring Distribution Structure

Abstract:In this paper, we present a novel framework for data redundancy measurement based on probabilistic modeling of datasets, and a new criterion for redundancy detection that is resilient to noise. We also develop new methods for data redundancy reduction using both deterministic and stochastic optimization techniques. Our framework is flexible and can handle different types of features, and our experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods. We provide a new perspective on feature selection, and propose effective and robust approaches for both supervised and unsupervised learning problems.
