Online Feature Selection

Named in paper as: External Feature Selection (EFS)

Ranks the feature importance according to the difference (in absolute value) between its positive and negative Balanced Winnow weights. More specifically, at each time t the importance score I of the feature j is given by I_j = |u_j - v_j |, where u_ and v_j are the positive and the negative model weights for feature j.

EFS uses not only the extreme top T features, but also a small number from the extreme bottom B. For instance, in order to select 100 features from a dataset, EFS would select 90% of these 100 features from the extreme top T and 10% from the extreme bottom B.

It has been measured that EFS has a performance comparable to IG and CHI.
