“…As can be seen, several fields might benefit from the use of feature selection ensembles for preprocessing purposes, since they usually improve accuracy, while boosting stability and reducing the computational costs of pattern recognition. The areas mentioned above have covered some of the more popular applications for feature selection, but the literature describes many more application areas, as diverse as intrusion detection [132,133,134,135,136], machinery fault diagnosis, [137,138,139,140,141,142,143], or automatic evaluation of open response assignments [144].…”
