| Abstract | We present a neural network based approach for identifying salient features for classification in neural network committees. Our approach involves neural network training with an augmented cross-entropy error function. The augmented error function forces the neural network to keep low derivatives of the transfer functions of neurons of the network when learning a classification task. Such an approach reduces output sensitivity to the input changes. Feature selection is based on the reaction of the cross-validation data set classification error due to the removal of the individual features. We compared the approach with two other neural network based feature selection methods. The algorithm developed outperformed the methods by achieving a higher classification accuracy on three real world problems tested. ©2002 IEEE |
