<p>Traditional feature selection methods are only concerned with high relevance between selected features and classes and low redundancy among features, ignoring their interrelations which partly weak classification performance. This paper developed a dynamic relevance strategy to measure the dependency among them, where the relevance of each candidate feature is updated dynamically when a new feature is selected. Protecting sensitive information has become an important issue when executing feature selection. However, existing differentially private machine learning algorithms have seldom considered the impact of data correlation, which may cause more privacy leakage than expected. Therefore, the paper proposed a differentially private feature selection based on dynamic relevance measure, namely DPFSDR. Firstly, as a correlation analysis technique, the weighted undirected graph model is constructed via the correlated degree, which can reduce the dataset’s dimension and correlated sensitivity. Secondly, as a feature selection criterion, F-score with differential privacy is adopted to measure the feature importance of each feature. Finally, to evaluate the effectiveness of feature selection, differentially private SVM combined with dynamic relevance measure is utilized to choose features. Experimental results show that the proposed DPFSDR algorithm can effectively obtain the optimal feature subset, and improve data utility while preserving data privacy.</p> <p> </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
