Area of Science:

  • Machine Learning
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Neural Networks

Background:

  • Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) are fundamental in deep learning.
  • Feature selection and architecture optimization are critical for MLP performance.
  • Existing methods may not efficiently handle redundant or irrelevant features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new heuristic measure, HVS (Heuristic for Variable Selection), for feature selection.
  • To develop a procedure for optimizing MLP architecture using the HVS measure.
  • To extend the HVS approach (epsilonHVS) for Time Delay Neural Networks (TDNNs).

Main Methods:

  • The HVS heuristic identifies and selects important variables by eliminating redundant or uninformative features.
  • A novel procedure utilizes HVS to determine the optimal MLP architecture from an initial structure.
