In this research we introduce
a regularization based feature selection algorithm to benefit from
sparsity and feature grouping properties and incorporate it into the
medical image classification task. Using this group sparsity (GS)
method, the wh
ole group of features are either selected or removed.
The basic idea in GS is to delete features that do not affect the
retrieval process, instead of keeping them and giving these features
small weights. Therefore, GS improves system by increasing
accuracy of the results, plus reducing space and time requirements
needed by the system.
