Feature selection is an important data pre-processing in data mining and machine learning, which can reduce feature size without deteriorating models performance. Recently, sparse regression based feature selection methods have received considerable attention due to their good performance. However, because the $l_{2,0}$-norm regularization term is non-convex, this problem is very hard to solve. In this paper, unlike most of the other methods which only solve the approximate problem, a novel method based on homotopy iterative hard threshold (HIHT) is proposed to solve the $l_{2,0}$-norm regularization least square problem directly for multi-class feature selection, which can produce exact row-sparsity solution for the weights matrix. Whatmore, in order to reduce the computational time of HIHT, an acceleration version of HIHT (AHIHT) is derived. Extensive experiments on eight biological datasets show that the proposed method can achieve higher classification accuracy (ACC) with fewest number of selected features (No.fea) comparing with the approximate convex counterparts and state-of-the-art feature selection methods. The robustness of classification accuracy to the regularization parameter and the number of selected feature are also exhibited.

Feature selection is used to reduce feature dimension while maintain models performance, which has been an important data preprocessing in many fields. Since obtaining annotated data is laborious or even infeasible in many cases, unsupervised feature selection is more practical in reality. Although a lots of methods have been proposed, these methods select features independently, thus it is no guarantee that the group of selected features is optimal. Whats more, the number of selected features must be tuned carefully to get a satisfactory result. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised feature selection method which incorporate spectral analysis with a $l_{2,0}$-norm regularized term. After optimization, a group of optimal features will be selected, and the number of selected features will be determined automatically. Whats more, a nonnegative constraint with respect to the class indicators is imposed to learn more accurate cluster labels, and a graph regularized term is added to learn the similarity matrix adaptively. An efficient and simple iterative algorithm is designed to optimize the proposed problem. Experiments on six different benchmark data sets validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we consider the tensor completion problem, which has many researchers in the machine learning particularly concerned. Our fast and precise method is built on extending the $L_{2,1}$-norm minimization and Qatar Riyal decomposition (LNM- QR) method for matrix completions to tensor completions, and is different from the popular tensor completion methods using the tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD). In terms of shortening the computing time, t-SVD is replaced with the method computing an approximate t-SVD based on Qatar Riyal decomposition (CTSVD-QR), which can be used to compute the largest $r left(r>0 right)$ singular values (tubes) and their associated singular vectors (of tubes) iteratively. We, in addition, use the tensor $L_{2,1}$-norm instead of the tensor nuclear norm to minimize our model on account of it is easy to optimize. Then in terms of improving accuracy, ADMM, a gradient-search-based method, plays a crucial part in our method. Numerical experimental results show that our method is faster than those state-of-the-art algorithms and have excellent accuracy.

Several AutoML approaches have been proposed to automate the machine learning (ML) process, such as searching for the ML model architectures and hyper-parameters. However, these AutoML pipelines only focus on improving the learning accuracy of benign samples while ignoring the ML model robustness under adversarial attacks. As ML systems are increasingly being used in a variety of mission-critical applications, improving the robustness of ML systems has become of utmost importance. In this paper, we propose the first robust AutoML framework, Robusta--based on reinforcement learning (RL)--to perform feature selection, aiming to select features that lead to both accurate and robust ML systems. We show that a variation of the 0-1 robust loss can be directly optimized via an RL-based combinatorial search in the feature selection scenario. In addition, we employ heuristics to accelerate the search procedure based on feature scoring metrics, which are mutual information scores, tree-based classifiers feature importance scores, F scores, and Integrated Gradient (IG) scores, as well as their combinations. We conduct extensive experiments and show that the proposed framework is able to improve the model robustness by up to 22% while maintaining competitive accuracy on benign samples compared with other feature selection methods.

Feature selection is a widely used dimension reduction technique to select feature subsets because of its interpretability. Many methods have been proposed and achieved good results, in which the relationships between adjacent data points are mainly concerned. But the possible associations between data pairs that are may not adjacent are always neglected. Different from previous methods, we propose a novel and very simple approach for unsupervised feature selection, named MMFS (Multi-step Markov transition probability for Feature Selection). The idea is using multi-step Markov transition probability to describe the relation between any data pair. Two ways from the positive and negative viewpoints are employed respectively to keep the data structure after feature selection. From the positive viewpoint, the maximum transition probability that can be reached in a certain number of steps is used to describe the relation between two points. Then, the features which can keep the compact data structure are selected. From the viewpoint of negative, the minimum transition probability that can be reached in a certain number of steps is used to describe the relation between two points. On the contrary, the features that least maintain the loose data structure are selected. And the two ways can also be combined. Thus three algorithms are proposed. Our main contributions are a novel feature section approach which uses multi-step transition probability to characterize the data structure, and three algorithms proposed from the positive and negative aspects for keeping data structure. The performance of our approach is compared with the state-of-the-art methods on eight real-world data sets, and the experimental results show that the proposed MMFS is effective in unsupervised feature selection.
The process of rank aggregation is intimately intertwined with the structure of skew-symmetric matrices. We apply recent advances in the theory and algorithms of matrix completion to skew-symmetric matrices. This combination of ideas produces a new m ethod for ranking a set of items. The essence of our idea is that a rank aggregation describes a partially filled skew-symmetric matrix. We extend an algorithm for matrix completion to handle skew-symmetric data and use that to extract ranks for each item. Our algorithm applies to both pairwise comparison and rating data. Because it is based on matrix completion, it is robust to both noise and incomplete data. We show a formal recovery result for the noiseless case and present a detailed study of the algorithm on synthetic data and Netflix ratings.
