abstract = "Feature scoring is an avenue to feature selection that
provides a measure of usefulness for the individual
features of a classification task. Features are ranked
based on their scores and selection is performed by
choosing a small group of high-ranked features. Most
existing feature scoring/ranking methods focus on the
relevance of a single feature to the class labels
regardless of the role of other features
(context-insensitive). The paper proposes a genetic
programming (GP)-based method to see how a set of
features can contribute towards discriminating
different classes. The features receive score in the
context of other features participating in a GP
program. The scoring mechanism is based on the
frequency of appearance of each feature in a collection
of GP programs and the fitness of those programs. Our
results show that the proposed feature ranking method
can detect important features of a problem. A variety
of different classifiers restricted to just a few of
these high-ranked features work well. The proposed
scoring-ranking mechanism can also shrink the search
space of size O(2 n ) of subsets of features to a
search space of size O(n) in which there are points
that are very likely to improve the classification
performance.",
