Title
Feature Selection May Improve Deep Neural Networks For The Bioinformatics Problems.
Abstract
Motivation: Deep neural network (DNN) algorithms were utilized in predicting various biomedical phenotypes recently, and demonstrated very good prediction performances without selecting features. This study proposed a hypothesis that the DNN models may be further improved by feature selection algorithms. Results: A comprehensive comparative study was carried out by evaluating 11 feature selection algorithms on three conventional DNN algorithms, i.e. convolution neural network (CNN), deep belief network (DBN) and recurrent neural network (RNN), and three recent DNNs, i.e. MobilenetV2, ShufflenetV2 and Squeezenet. Five binary classification methylomic datasets were chosen to calculate the prediction performances of CNN/DBN/RNN models using feature selected by the 11 feature selection algorithms. Seventeen binary classification transcriptome and two multi-class transcriptome datasets were also utilized to evaluate how the hypothesis may generalize to different data types. The experimental data supported our hypothesis that feature selection algorithms may improve DNN models, and the DBN models using features selected by SVM-RFE usually achieved the best prediction accuracies on the five methylomic datasets.
