Ze-HFS: Zentropy-Based Uncertainty Measure for Heterogeneous Feature Selection and Knowledge Discovery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Knowledge discovery of heterogeneous data is an active topic in knowledge engineering. Feature selection for heterogeneous data is an important part of effective data analysis. Although there have been many attempts to study the feature selection for heterogeneous data, there are still some challenges, such as the unbalanced problem between the stability and validity of the designed model. Hence, this paper focuses on how to design an effective and robust heterogeneous feature selection method, namely a zentropy-based uncertainty measure for heterogeneous feature selection(Ze-HFS). Different from other entropy-based uncertainty measures, the proposed method does not consider single-level information measures but systematically analyzes and integrates the information between different granular levels, which has an obvious advantage in the study of heterogeneous data knowledge discovery. Specifically, a heterogeneous distance metric is first introduced to construct heterogeneous neighborhood granules and heterogeneous neighborhood rough sets(HNRS). Then, the zentropy-based uncertainty measure is developed by analyzing the granular level structure in the HNRS model. Finally, two significant measures based on the above research are designed for heterogeneous feature selection. Compared with other state-of-the-art methods, the experimental results on 18 public datasets demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.
