Evaluation of Rule-Based Learning and Feature Selection Approaches For Classification

Authors: Fatima Chiroma, Mihaela Cocea, and Han Liu

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 66, 2018 Imperial College Computing Student Workshop (ICCSW 2018)

Abstract
Feature selection is typically employed before or in conjunction with classification algorithms to reduce the feature dimensionality and improve the classification performance, as well as reduce processing time. While particular approaches have been developed for feature selection, such as filter and wrapper approaches, some algorithms perform feature selection through their learning strategy. In this paper, we are investigating the effect of the implicit feature selection of the PRISM algorithm, which is rule-based, when compared with the wrapper feature selection approach employing four popular algorithms: decision trees, naïve bayes, k-nearest neighbors and support vector machine. Moreover, we investigate the performance of the algorithms on target classes, i.e. where the aim is to identify one or more phenomena and distinguish them from their absence (i.e. non-target classes), such as when identifying benign and malign cancer (two target classes) vs. non-cancer (the non-target class).

Fast Matrix Multiplication Without Tears: A Constraint Programming Approach

Authors: Arnaud Deza, Chang Liu, Pashootan Vaezipoor, and Elias B. Khalil

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 280, 29th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2023)

Abstract
It is known that the multiplication of an N × M matrix with an M × P matrix can be performed using fewer multiplications than what the naive NMP approach suggests. The most famous instance of this is Strassen’s algorithm for multiplying 2× 2 matrices in 7 instead of 8 multiplications. This gives rise to the constraint satisfaction problem of fast matrix multiplication, where a set of R < NMP multiplication terms must be chosen and combined such that they satisfy correctness constraints on the output matrix. Despite its highly combinatorial nature, this problem has not been exhaustively examined from that perspective, as evidenced for example by the recent deep reinforcement learning approach of AlphaTensor. In this work, we propose a simple yet novel Constraint Programming approach to find algorithms for fast matrix multiplication or provide proof of infeasibility otherwise. We propose a set of symmetry-breaking constraints and valid inequalities that are particularly helpful in proving infeasibility. On the feasible side, we find that exploiting solver performance variability in conjunction with a sparsity-based problem decomposition enables finding solutions for larger (feasible) instances of fast matrix multiplication. Our experimental results using CP Optimizer demonstrate that we can find fast matrix multiplication algorithms for matrices up to 3× 3 with R = 23 in a short amount of time.

On-Line Pattern Matching on Similar Texts

Authors: Roberto Grossi, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Chang Liu, Nadia Pisanti, Solon P. Pissis, Ahmad Retha, Giovanna Rosone, Fatima Vayani, and Luca Versari

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 78, 28th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2017)

Abstract
Pattern matching on a set of similar texts has received much attention, especially recently, mainly due to its application in cataloguing human genetic variation. In particular, many different algorithms have been proposed for the off-line version of this problem; that is, constructing a compressed index for a set of similar texts in order to answer pattern matching queries efficiently. However, the on-line, more fundamental, version of this problem is a rather undeveloped topic. Solutions to the on-line version can be beneficial for a number of reasons; for instance, efficient on-line solutions can be used in combination with partial indexes as practical trade-offs. We make here an attempt to close this gap via proposing two efficient algorithms for this problem. Notably, one of the algorithms requires time linear in the size of the texts' representation, for short patterns. Furthermore, experimental results confirm our theoretical findings in practical terms.
