Feature selection technique has been a very active research topic that addresses the problem of reducing the dimensionality. Whereas, datasets are continuously growing over time both in samples and features number. As a result, handling both irrelevant and redundant features has become a real challenge. In this paper we propose a new straightforward framework which combines the horizontal and vertical distributed feature selection technique, called Horizo-Vertical Distributed Feature Selection approach (HVDFS), aimed at achieving good performances as well as reducing the number of features. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated on three well-known datasets compared to the centralized and the previous distributed approach, using four well-known classifiers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
