Variance-Preserving Orthogonal Selection (VPOS): Greedy Feature Selection via Orthogonal Deflation in PCA Loading Space

arXiv:2607. 23198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose Variance-Preserving Orthogonal Selection (VPOS), a greedy framework for unsupervised feature selection that operates in the weighted PCA loading space.

Efficient Cross-Validation for Sparse Linear Regression

arXiv:2306. 14851v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Given a high-dimensional covariate matrix and a response vector, ridge-regularized sparse linear regression selects a subset of features that explains the relationship between covariates and the response in an interpretable manner.

An Empirical Study of Feature Selection Granularity

arXiv:2607. 24145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Feature selection aims to identify the most informative and relevant features for a given dataset, either in terms of capturing the underlying data structure and distribution better, or with respect to the performance on a downstream task.

Panorama: Fast-Track Nearest Neighbors

arXiv:2510. 00566v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate Nearest-Neighbor Search (ANNS) pipelines for high-dimensional neural embeddings spend the bulk of their query time in candidate verification, making it the primary bottleneck in the search process.

Adversarial LassoNet: Robust Feature Selection via Stability-Driven Sparse Learning

arXiv:2607. 03839v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse feature selection is critical for high-dimensional machine learning, yet traditional $\ell_1$-regularized methods are often brittle under observational noise and spurious correlations, leading to unstable feature supports and degraded generalization.

Beyond Noise: A Hypothesis Testing Approach to Robust Feature Selection

arXiv:2511. 20851v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Feature selection remains difficult in modern high-dimensional settings, and established methods such as Boruta and Recursive Feature Elimination are either computationally costly or lack a statistically justified stopping criterion for their importance scores.
