• Abstract: Multi-view multi-label feature selection aims to identify a compact and informative feature subset from heterogeneous views while preserving discriminative information for multiple labels. Existing methods are generally developed from specific modeling perspectives and incorporate mechanisms tailored to particular data characteristics. Designing suitable feature selection algorithms across datasets with diverse and heterogeneous characteristics still relies heavily on expert knowledge and substantial manual effort, imposing considerable time and labor costs that severely hinder the practical adoption of feature selection. To address this problem, we propose FeatureHospital, a Skill-driven multi-agent framework for automated multi-view multi-label feature selection algorithm design. FeatureHospital first diagnoses the target dataset to identify its feature selection issues. Based on the diagnosis, specialist agents equipped with domain Skills then prescribe corresponding optimization strategies and Loss terms for different issues. After that, the resulting prescriptions are reconciled to remove overlaps and resolve conflicts before being integrated into a compact dataset-specific objective. Finally, the constructed objective is optimized to select the final feature subset. Experimental results demonstrate that FeatureHospital can construct effective feature selection algorithms for different datasets based on their individual characteristics.

  We present a novel framework to create feature selection ensembles from multivariate feature selectors. We take into account the biases produced by groups of correlated features, using agglomerative hierarchical clustering in a pre-processing step. These methods were applied to two real-world datasets from studies of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that has no cure and is not yet fully understood.
