• Abstract: Feature selection is important step in machine learning since it has shown to improve prediction accuracy while depressing the curse of dimensionality of high dimensional data. The neural networks have experienced tremendous success in solving many nonlinear learning problems. Here, we propose new neural-network based feature selection approach that introduces two constrains, the satisfying of which leads to sparse FS layer. We have performed extensive experiments on synthetic and real world data to evaluate performance of the proposed FS. In experiments we focus on the high dimension, low sample size data since those represent the main challenge for feature selection. The results confirm that proposed Feature Selection Based on Sparse Neural Network Layer with Normalizing Constraints (SNEL-FS) is able to select the important features and yields superior performance compared to other conventional FS methods.

  Rank-R Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) is a tensor-based nonlinear learning model that imposes Canonical/Polyadic decomposition on its parameters. First, it handles inputs as multilinear arrays, bypassing the need for vectorization, and can thus fully exploit the structural information along every data dimension. We establish the universal approximation and learnability properties of Rank-R FNN, and we validate its performance on real-world hyperspectral datasets.

  Quantization neural networks (QNNs) are very attractive to the industry because their extremely cheap calculation and storage overhead, but their performance is still worse than that of networks with full-precision parameters. Most of existing methods aim to enhance performance of QNNs especially binary neural networks by exploiting more effective training techniques. We address this problem by projecting features in original full-precision networks to high-dimensional quantization features.
