Abstract
We proposed a novel algorithm of supervised feature selection and adaptation for enhancing the classification accuracy of
unsupervised Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) feature extraction algorithm. At first the algorithm extracts feature
vectors for a given high dimensional data then reduce the feature dimension using mutual information based relevant feature
selection and finally adapt the selected NMF features using the proposed Non-negative Supervised Feature Adaptation (NSFA)
learning algorithm. The supervised feature selection and adaptation improve the classification performance which is fully
confirmed by simulations with text-document classification problem. Moreover, the non-negativity constraint, of this algorithm,
provides biologically plausible and meaningful feature.
