Abstract

Many real world applications have problems with high dimensionality, which existing algorithms cannot overcome. A critical data preprocessing problem is feature selection, whereby its non-scalability negatively influences both the efficiency and performance of big data applications. In this research, we developed a new algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of a problem using graph-based analysis, which retains the physical meaning of the original high-dimensional feature space. Most existing feature-selection methods are based on a strong assumption that features are independent of each other. However, if the feature-selection algorithm does not take into consideration the interdependencies of the feature space, the selected data fail to correctly represent the original data. We developed a new feature-selection method to address this challenge. Our aim in this research was to examine the dependencies between features and select the optimal feature set with respect to the original data structure. Another important factor in our proposed method is that it can perform even in the absence of class labels. This is a more difficult problem that many feature-selection algorithms fail to address. In this case, they only use wrapper techniques that require a learning algorithm to select features. It is important to note that our experimental results indicates, this proposed simple ranking method performs better than other methods, independent of any particular learning algorithm used.
