Popis: Commonly, when a feature selection algorithm is applied, a single feature subset is selected for all the classes, but this subset could be inadequate for some classes. Class-specific feature selection allows selecting a possible different feature subset for each class. However, all the class-specific feature selection algorithms have been proposed for a particular classifier, which reduce their applicability. In this paper, a general framework for using any traditional feature selector for doing class-specific feature selection, which allows using any classifier, is proposed. Experimental results and a comparison against traditional feature selectors showing the suitability of the proposed framework are included.
