Generation of compound features based on feature interaction for classification

作者:

Highlights:

• Novel compound feature generation method using mutual information is proposed.

• It creates new semi-features by transforming significantly interacting features.

• Removal of irrelevant features is done only after learning semi-features.

• The method able to produce maximum informative and less redundant compound features.

• Accuracy of the method is compared with state-of-the-art DR methods using multiple classifiers.
