A Many-Objective Simultaneous Feature Selection and Discretization for LCS-Based Gesture Recognition

Discretization and feature selection are two relevant techniques for dimensionality reduction. The first one aims to transform a set of continuous attributes into discrete ones, and the second removes the irrelevant and redundant features; these two methods often lead to be more specific and concise...

A Many-Objective Simultaneous Feature Selection and Discretization for LCS-Based Gesture Recognition
description Discretization and feature selection are two relevant techniques for dimensionality reduction. The first one aims to transform a set of continuous attributes into discrete ones, and the second removes the irrelevant and redundant features; these two methods often lead to be more specific and concise data. In this paper, we propose to simultaneously deal with optimal feature subset selection, discretization, and classifier parameter tuning. As an illustration, the proposed problem formulation has been addressed using a constrained many-objective optimization algorithm based on dominance and decomposition (C-MOEA/DD) and a limited-memory implementation of the warping longest common subsequence algorithm (WarpingLCSS). In addition, the discretization sub-problem has been addressed using a variable-length representation, along with a variable-length crossover, to overcome the need of specifying the number of elements defining the discretization scheme in advance. We conduct experiments on a real-world benchmark dataset; compare two discretization criteria as discretization objective, namely Ameva and ur-CAIM; and analyze recognition performance and reduction capabilities. Our results show that our approach outperforms previous reported results by up to 11% and achieves an average feature reduction rate of 80%.
