It uses a feature ranking criterion to measure the importance of a feature by computing the aggregate difference, over the feature space, of the probabilistic outputs of the MLP with and without the feature. Thus, a score of importance with respect to every feature can be provided using this criterion. The proposed criterion has inexpensive evaluation. Based on the numerical experiment on several artificial and real-world data sets, the proposed method performs at least as well, if not better, than several existing feature selection methods for MLP. © 2008 IEEE. | Source Title: | Conference Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/73467 | ISSN: | 1062922X | DOI: | 10.1109/ICSMC.2008.4811372 |
