Crossover Operators for Multiobjective k-Subset Selection
"... Genetic algorithms are often applied to combinatorial opti-mization problems, the most popular one probably being the traveling salesperson problem. In contrast to permutations used for TSP, the selection of a subset from a larger set has so far gained surprisingly little interest. One intriguing ex ..."

Feature selection in clustering problems
- In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 16
, 2004
"... A novel approach to combining clustering and feature selection is presented. It implements a wrapper strategy for feature selection, in the sense that the features are directly selected by optimizing the discriminative power of the used partitioning algorithm. On the technical side, we present an ef ..."
