Similarity-based constraint score for feature selection

作者:

Highlights:

• A new constraint score is proposed for feature selection.

• It can be used in the context of both supervised and semi-supervised learnings.

• It is based on similarity matrices to evaluate the relevance of a subset of features.

• It evaluates a subset of features at once and can identify redundant features.

• It outperforms the other state-of-the-art constraint scores.
