Feature selection is an important and challenging task in high dimensional clustering. For example, in genomics, there may only be a small number of genes that are differentially expressed, which are informative to the overall clustering structure. Existing feature selection methods, such as Sparse K-means, rarely tackle the problem of accounting features that can only separate a subset of clusters. In genomics, it is highly likely that a gene can only define one subtype against all the other subtypes or distinguish a pair of subtypes but not others. In this paper, we propose a K-means based clustering algorithm that discovers informative features as well as which cluster pairs are separable by each selected features. The method is essentially an EM algorithm, in which we introduce lasso-type constraints on each cluster pair in the M step, and make the E step possible by maximizing the raw cross-cluster distance instead of minimizing the intra-cluster distance. The results were demonstrated on simulated data and a leukemia gene expression dataset.

This paper describes a distributed MapReduce implementation of the minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance algorithm, a popular feature selection method in bioinformatics and network inference problems. The proposed approach handles both tall/narrow and
wide/short datasets. We further provide an open source implementation based on Hadoop/Spark, and illustrate its scalability on datasets involving millions of observations or features.
Penalized (or regularized) regression, as represented by Lasso and its variants, has become a standard technique for analyzing high-dimensional data when the number of variables substantially exceeds the sample size. The performance of penalized regr
ession relies crucially on the choice of the tuning parameter, which determines the amount of regularization and hence the sparsity level of the fitted model. The optimal choice of tuning parameter depends on both the structure of the design matrix and the unknown random error distribution (variance, tail behavior, etc). This article reviews the current literature of tuning parameter selection for high-dimensional regression from both theoretical and practical perspectives. We discuss various strategies that choose the tuning parameter to achieve prediction accuracy or support recovery. We also review several recently proposed methods for tuning-free high-dimensional regression.
In this paper, we study the application of sparse principal component analysis (PCA) to clustering and feature selection problems. Sparse PCA seeks sparse factors, or linear combinations of the data variables, explaining a maximum amount of variance
in the data while having only a limited number of nonzero coefficients. PCA is often used as a simple clustering technique and sparse factors allow us here to interpret the clusters in terms of a reduced set of variables. We begin with a brief introduction and motivation on sparse PCA and detail our implementation of the algorithm in dAspremont et al. (2005). We then apply these results to some classic clustering and feature selection problems arising in biology.
Marginal maximum likelihood (MML) estimation is the preferred approach to fitting item response theory models in psychometrics due to the MML estimators consistency, normality, and efficiency as the sample size tends to infinity. However, state-of-th
e-art MML estimation procedures such as the Metropolis-Hastings Robbins-Monro (MH-RM) algorithm as well as approximate MML estimation procedures such as variational inference (VI) are computationally time-consuming when the sample size and the number of latent factors are very large. In this work, we investigate a deep learning-based VI algorithm for exploratory item factor analysis (IFA) that is computationally fast even in large data sets with many latent factors. The proposed approach applies a deep artificial neural network model called an importance-weighted autoencoder (IWAE) for exploratory IFA. The IWAE approximates the MML estimator using an importance sampling technique wherein increasing the number of importance-weighted (IW) samples drawn during fitting improves the approximation, typically at the cost of decreased computational efficiency. We provide a real data application that recovers results aligning with psychological theory across random starts. Via simulation studies, we show that the IWAE yields more accurate estimates as either the sample size or the number of IW samples increases (although factor correlation and intercepts estimates exhibit some bias) and obtains similar results to MH-RM in less time. Our simulations also suggest that the proposed approach performs similarly to and is potentially faster than constrained joint maximum likelihood estimation, a fast procedure that is consistent when the sample size and the number of items simultaneously tend to infinity.
High-dimensional feature selection is a central problem in a variety of application domains such as machine learning, image analysis, and genomics. In this paper, we propose graph-based tests as a useful basis for feature selection. We describe an al
gorithm for selecting informative features in high-dimensional data, where each observation comes from one of $K$ different distributions. Our algorithm can be applied in a completely nonparametric setup without any distributional assumptions on the data, and it aims at outputting those features in the data, that contribute the most to the overall distributional variation. At the heart of our method is the recursive application of distribution-free graph-based tests on subsets of the feature set, located at different depths of a hierarchical clustering tree constructed from the data. Our algorithm recovers all truly contributing features with high probability, while ensuring optimal control on false-discovery. Finally, we show the superior performance of our method over other existing ones through synthetic data, and also demonstrate the utility of the method on a real-life dataset from the domain of climate change.
