Kurzfassung Wrapper feature selection can lead to highly accurate classifications. However, the computational costs for this are very high in general. Bayesian Optimization on the other hand has already proven to be very efficient in optimizing black-box functions. This approach uses Bayesian Optimization in order to minimize the number of evaluations, i.e. the training of models with different feature subsets. We will use Gaussian processes, random forests and other regression learners for the surrogate model. On 10 different classification datasets the approach will be compared against established wrapper feature selection methods, but also against filter and embedded methods.
