神经模糊网络特征选择

基于人工神经网络的特征选择算法一般可以看作是剪枝算法的一个特例:通过剪枝输入节点,计算网络输出对该输入节点对应特征的敏感性.但这些方法往往要求首先对数据做归一化的工作,这可能会改变原数据具备的对分类很重要的某些性质.神经模糊网络是具有自学习能力的模糊推理系统,本文将其与基于隶属度空间的剪枝技术结合起来提出新的特征选择算法.其特点是隶属度函数是自适应学习的,且学习过程在特征选择之前完成.分别对自然数据和人工数据进行实验,并与其它方法相比,结果证明该算法是有效的.     

基于自适应隶属度函数的特征选择

Neuro-fuzzy (NF) networks are adaptive fuzzy inference systems (FIS) and have been applied to feature selection by some researchers. However, their rule number will grow exponentially as the data dimension increases. On the other hand, feature selection algorithms with artificial neural networks (ANN) usually require normalization of input data, which will probably change some characteristics of original data that are important for classification. To overcome the problems mentioned above, this paper combines the fuzzification layer of the neuro-fuzzy system with the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to form a new artificial neural network. Furthermore, fuzzification strategy and feature measurement based on membership space are proposed for feature selection.Finally, experiments with both natural and artificial data are carried out to compare with other methods, and the results approve the validity of the algorithm.
