The method presented in this paper is novel as a natural combination of two mutually dependent steps. Feature selection is a key element (first step) in our classification system, which was employed during the 2010 International RSCTC data mining (bioinformatics) Challenge. The second step may be implemented using any suitable classifier such as linear regression, support vector machine or neural networks. We conducted leave-one-out (LOO) experiments with several feature selection techniques and classifiers. Based on the LOO evaluations, we decided to use feature selection with the separation type Wilcoxon-based criterion for all final submissions. The method presented in this paper was tested successfully during the RSCTC data mining Challenge, where we achieved the top score in the Basic track.

: In this era of Internet, the issue of security of information is at its peak. One of the main threats in this cyber world is phishing attacks which is an email or website fraud method that targets the genuine webpage or an email and hacks it without the consent of the end user. There are various techniques which help to classify whether the website or an email is legitimate or fake. The major contributors in the process of detection of these phishing frauds include the classification algorithms, feature selection techniques or dataset preparation methods and the feature extraction that plays an important role in detection as well as in prevention of these attacks. This Survey Paper studies the effect of all these contributors and the approaches that are applied in the study conducted on the recent papers. Some of the classification algorithms that are implemented includes Decision tree, Random Forest , Support Vector Machines, Logistic Regression , Lazy K Star, Naive Bayes and J48 etc.

In this paper, we investigate the potential of unsupervised feature selection techniques for classification tasks, where only sparse training data are available. This is motivated by the fact that unsupervised feature selection techniques combine the advantages of standard dimensionality reduction techniques (which only rely on the given feature vectors and not on the corresponding labels) and supervised feature selection techniques (which retain a subset of the original set of features). Thus, feature selection becomes independent of the given classification task and, consequently, a subset of generally versatile features is retained. We present different techniques relying on the topology of the given sparse training data. Thereby, the topology is described with an ultrametricity index. For the latter, we take into account the Murtagh Ultrametricity Index (MUI) which is defined on the basis of triangles within the given data and the Topological Ultrametricity Index (TUI) which is defined on the basis of a specific graph structure. In a case study addressing the classification of high-dimensional hyperspectral data based on sparse training data, we demonstrate the performance of the proposed unsupervised feature selection techniques in comparison to standard dimensionality reduction and supervised feature selection techniques on four commonly used benchmark datasets. The achieved classification results reveal that involving supervised feature selection techniques leads to similar classification results as involving unsupervised feature selection techniques, while the latter perform feature selection independently from the given classification task and thus deliver generally versatile features.

The aim of this study is to diagnose and classify the failure modes for two serial fastened sandwich composite plates using data mining techniques. The composite material used in the study was manufactured using glass fiber reinforced layer and aluminum sheets. Obtained results of previous experimental study for sandwich composite plates, which were mechanically fastened with two serial pins or bolts were used for classification of failure modes. Furthermore, experimental data from previous study consists of different geometrical parameters for various applied preload moments as 0 (pinned), 2, 3, 4, and 5 Nm (bolted). In this study, data mining methods were applied by using these geometrical parameters and pinned/bolted joint configurations. Therefore, three geometrical parameters and 100 test data were used for classification by utilizing support vector machine, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest methods. According to experiments, Random Forest method achieved better results than others and it was appropriate for diagnosing and classification of the failure modes. Performances of all data mining methods used were discussed in terms of accuracy and error ratios.

An electronic tongue is a device composed of a sensor array that takes advantage of the cross sensitivity property of several sensors to perform classification and quantification in liquid substances. In practice, electronic tongues generate a large amount of information that needs to be correctly analyzed, to define which interactions and features are more relevant to distinguish one substance from another. This work focuses on implementing and validating feature selection methodologies in the liquid classification process of a multifrequency large amplitude pulse voltammetric (MLAPV) electronic tongue. Multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP NN) and support vector machine (SVM) were used as supervised machine learning classifiers. Different feature selection techniques were used, such as Variance filter, ANOVA F-value, Recursive Feature Elimination and model-based selection. Both 5-fold Cross validation and GridSearchCV were used in order to evaluate the performance of the feature selection methodology by testing various configurations and determining the best one. The methodology was validated in an imbalanced MLAPV electronic tongue dataset of 13 different liquid substances, reaching a 93.85% of classification accuracy.
