    Semant - Feature Group Selection Utilizing Fasttext-Based Semantic Word Grouping, Scoring, and Modeling Approach for Text Classification
    (Springer International Publishing AG, 2024) Voskergian, Daniel; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Yousef, Malik
    Text classification presents a challenge due to its high-dimensional feature space. As such, devising an effective feature selection scheme is essential. In this study, we present SEMANT, a novel hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection method that utilizes filter-based Chi-Square and the wrapper-based G-S-M approach. SEMANT incorporates fastText neural word embedding similarities to promote greater semantic inclusion in the selection of features for text classification tasks. The performance of the proposed method was investigated on the WOS-5736 and LitCovid datasets and compared with TextNetTopics, a topic modeling-based topic selection algorithm for text classification. Experimental results confirm that the proposed approach outperforms its alternative.

    Review of Feature Selection Approaches Based on Grouping of Features
    (PeerJ Inc, 2023-07-17) Kuzudisli, Cihan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Bulut, Nurten; Qaqish, Bahjat; Yousef, Malik
    With the rapid development in technology, large amounts of high-dimensional data have been generated. This high dimensionality including redundancy and irrelevancy poses a great challenge in data analysis and decision making. Feature selection (FS) is an effective way to reduce dimensionality by eliminating redundant and irrelevant data. Most traditional FS approaches score and rank each feature individually; and then perform FS either by eliminating lower ranked features or by retaining highly -ranked features. In this review, we discuss an emerging approach to FS that is based on initially grouping features, then scoring groups of features rather than scoring individual features. Despite the presence of reviews on clustering and FS algorithms, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first review focusing on FS techniques based on grouping. The typical idea behind FS through grouping is to generate groups of similar features with dissimilarity between groups, then select representative features from each cluster. Approaches under supervised, unsupervised, semi supervised and integrative frameworks are explored. The comparison of experimental results indicates the effectiveness of sequential, optimization-based (i.e., fuzzy or evolutionary), hybrid and multi-method approaches. When it comes to biological data, the involvement of external biological sources can improve analysis results. We hope this work's findings can guide effective design of new FS approaches using feature grouping.
