Abstract
A method for automated feature selection is provided. One or more initial sets of features are generated and evaluated to determine quality scores for the feature sets. Selected ones of the feature sets are (i) chosen according to the quality scores and modified to generate a generation of modified feature sets, (ii) the modified feature sets are evaluated to determine quality scores for the modified feature sets, and (i) and (ii) are repeated until a modified feature set is satisfactory.
