Abstract

As a novel machine learning strategy, Incremental Attribute Learning (IAL) gradually trains features in increments. Algorithms using IAL often exhibit better performance than some other approaches in previous studies. However, in previous research, feature selection for IAL usually employed wrapper approaches, which are low in efficiency. Moreover, IAL has its own characteristics like growing dimensional feature space, where traditional stable feature selection methods cannot perform well. Therefore, new feature selection methods must be designed for IAL. In this paper, a dynamic feature selection approach based on feature ordering is presented. In the meanwhile, metrics and algorithms for getting optimal feature ordering and selection are also interpreted in this paper.
