Universal Feature Selection Tool (UniFeat): An Open-Source Tool for Dimensionality Reduction

Abstract

The Universal Feature Selection Tool (UniFeat) is an open-source tool developed entirely in Java for performing feature selection processes in various research areas. It provides a set of well-known and advanced feature selection methods within its significant auxiliary tools. This allows users to compare the performance of feature selection methods. Moreover, due to the open-source nature of UniFeat, researchers can use and modify it in their research, which facilitates the rapid development of new feature selection algorithms.
