Marginal Laplacian Score

High-dimensional imbalanced data poses a machine learning challenge. In the absence of sufficient or high-quality labels, unsupervised feature selection methods are crucial for the success of subsequent algorithms. Therefore, we introduce a Marginal Laplacian Score (MLS), a modification of the well known Laplacian Score (LS) tailored to better address imbalanced data. We introduce an assumption that the minority class or anomalous appear more frequently in the margin of the features. Consequently, MLS aims to preserve the local structure of the …
