3. Introduction • UltraHigh-dimensional variable selection is the hot topic in statistics and machine learning. • Model relationship between one response and associated features , based on a sample of size n.

4. Application • Associated studies between phenotypes and SNPs. • Gene selection or disease classification in bioinformatics. each patient’s data with p genes n Patients’ degree of disease sickness Important genes selected one Gene expression level

5. Challenges • Dimensionality grows rapidly with interactions of the features Portfolio selection and networking modeling: 2000 stocks involves over 2 millions unknown parameters in the covariance matrix. Protein-protein interaction: the sample size may be in the order of thousands, but the number of features can be in the order of millions. • To construct effective method to learn relationship between features and response in high dimension for scientific purposes.

7. Existing methods • LASSO :L1 regularization linear regression • Forward regression:sequentially add variables • Backward regression: start with them all then delete them on the bases of smallest change in • Stepwise regression: at each step one can be entered (on basis of greatest improvement in but one also may be removed if the change (reduction) in is not significant. • Least-angle regression: estimated parameters are increased in a direction equiangular to each one's correlations with the residual.

8. State-of-the-Art Approach • Interactive feature selection method proposed by Jianqing Fan in Princeton University • “Ultrahigh dimensional feature selection: beyond the linear model” • Contribution: • Ultrahigh dimensional data • Accuracy • slow

9. Step 1: Large-scale screening • Apply Pearson correlation and ranking to pick a set

10. Step 2 : Moderate-scale selection • Employ an existing regression method to select a subset • of these indices .

11. Step 3: Large-scale screening • Adding other features one each time with to the regression model:

12. Step 3 (con’t) • Ranking j features according to , select the top numbers of features. And add to forming the new feature set • Repeats Steps 2-3, select new from , then form new • until

14. Slow Intelligence System • “A General Framework for Slow Intelligence Systems”, by S.K. Chang, International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering

15. Time Controller • Slow decision cycle(s) to complement quick decision cycle(s): SIS possesses at least two decision cycles. Therefore, Slow Intelligence Systems work usually correctly but not always fast. • Time Controller Design • PanicButton • Petri-net model

16. Motivation • “Modeling Human Intelligence as A Slow Intelligence System” • by Tiansi Dong, DMS2010 • SIS forobject mapping between scenes • Two object tracing results due to two different priorities • 1. Priority on spatial changes (minimal spatial changes) • 2. Priority on object categories (objects are mapped within same categories)

17. SIS1 for Object tracing (priority on spatial changes) • Enumerate all possible mapping • Elimination and concentration the mapping with the minimal spatial changes

18. SIS2 for Object tracing (priority onobject category) • Enumerate all possible mapping • Elimination and concentration the mapping with the same category

20. Task one • Modeling Ultra-high Dimensional Feature Selection as a Slow Intelligence System • Use SIS to model Iterative feature selection method to five phases: Enumeration, Elimination, Adaptation, Propagation, Concentration. • The whole SIS system contains additional Sub-SIS system. • Represent it in Mathematical formulation

21. Task two • Design time controller in term of Petri Net and introduce Knowledge base • Time controller controls the time to evoke each phase of SIS. • Knowledge base contains five different moderate-scale selection algorithms. KB can be changed and updated in the slow cycle. • Represent Time controller in Petri Net using ReNew Editor

22. Future work • Experiment: Use some real data (colon cancer data) to do the experiment and compare the results with some existing feature selection method like LASSO, forward, backward regression, etc. Weka: Demo • I will use some visualization tool to visualize the result and the process of feature selection.
