Context-Sensitive Attribute Evaluation
Abstract
The research in machine learning, data mining, and statistics has provided a number of methods that estimate the usefulness of an attribute (feature) for prediction of the target variable. The estimates of attributes’ utility are subsequently used in various important tasks, e.g., feature subset selection, feature weighting, feature ranking, feature construction, data transformation, decision and regression tree building, data discretization, visualization, and comprehension. These tasks frequently occur in data mining, robotics, and in the construction of intelligent systems in general. A majority of attribute evaluation measures used are myopic in a sense that they estimate the quality of one feature independently of the context of other features. In problems which possibly involve much feature interactions these measures are not appropriate. The measures which are historically based on the Relief algorithm (Kira & Rendell, 1992) take context into account through distance between the instances and are efficient in problems with strong dependencies between attributes.
