Dynamic subspace dual-graph regularized multi-label feature selection

Abstract In multi-label learning, feature selection is a topical issue for addressing high-dimension data. However, most of existing methods adopt imperfect labels to perform feature selection. Although some graph-based multi-label feature selection methods are proposed to deal with the problem, they adopt the fixed graph Laplacian matrix so that the performances of these models are under-performing. To this end, this paper proposes a Dynamic Subspace dual-graph regularized Multi-label Feature Selection method named DSMFS. DSMFS decomposes the original label space into a low-dimensional subspace, and then both the dynamic label-level subspace graph and the feature-level graph are used to obtain a high-quality label subspace to conduct feature selection process. Seven state-of-the-art methods are compared to the proposed method on twelve multi-label benchmark data sets in the experiments. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of DSMFS.
