Feature Selection Approach Based on Improved Fuzzy C-Means With Principle of Refined Justifiable Granularity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is a clustering algorithm based on partition of the universe. However, the partition generated by an equivalence relation is strict in practical application and exhibits relatively poor fault-tolerant mechanism. In this article, a novel binary relation based on improved FCM with the principle of refined justifiable granularity is presented. Different expressions of the proposed binary relation under different values of weight parameter are discussed, and the changes of the properties of the binary relation under different parameter values are provided. By measuring the significance of attributes in the feature space, a feature selection method, called forward heuristic feature selection (FHFS), is designed to construct the low-dimension feature space based on maximizing the original data and information retention through the defined degrees of aggregation and dispersion. It is shown how the results of feature selection and classification performance vary when the values of the weight factor locate in different ranges. To illustrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed FHFS algorithm, nine high-dimensional datasets and eight image datasets from University of California-Irvine (UCI) repository are used and compared with other feature selection methods, respectively. The results of experimental evaluation and the significance test show that the proposed learning mechanism is a superior algorithm.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
