Unsupervised learning approach to feature selection in biological data analysis
Authors: Witold Jacak, Karin Proell
Abstract
In this paper we present a novel method for scoring function specification and feature selection by combining unsupervised learning with supervised cross validation. Unsupervised clustering methods (k-means, one dimensional Kohonen SOM, fuzzy c-means) are used to perform a clustering of object-data for a chosen subset of input features and given number of clusters. The resulting object clusters are compared with the predefined original object classes and a matching factor (score) is calculated. This score is used as criterion function for heuristic sequential feature selection and novel cross selection algorithm.
