Abstract

We propose the so-called Support Feature Machine (SFM) as a novel approach to feature selection for classification, based on minimisation of the zero norm of a separating hyperplane. Thus, a classifier with inherent feature selection capabilities is obtained within a single training run. Results on toy examples demonstrate that this method is able to identify relevant features very effectively.
