| Abstract: | We propose geometrical models of features of a learning problem. We show that there are two alternative ways to interpret similarities between features. The syntactic way is well studied and applied in feature selection while the semantic way, in the context of kernel methods, is less understood. We show that the latter is equivalent to feature semantic similarity (FSS) and there are a number of methods that fall into this framework. We analyze to show relations among these methods and differences to feature selection ones. Our analysis shows a natural extension to all these methods. It automatically suggests that this framework can be applied in a general context. We also note that all the methods using FSS are inherently unsupervised in nature. None of these methods make use of labels for classification or regression tasks. On the other hand, the feature selection counterparts consider labels as an important information. Therefore, we propose an algorithm to learn the feature proximity matrix for FSS for supervised tasks. We show the merit of our algorithm in various applications. |
