Sampling-guided exploration of active feature selection policies

ArXi:2603.15110v1 Announce Type: new Determining the most appropriate features for machine learning predictive models is challenging regarding performance and feature acquisition costs. In particular, global feature choice is limited given that some features will only benefit a subset of instances. In previous work, we proposed a reinforcement learning approach to sequentially recommend which modality to acquire next to reach the best information/cost ratio, based on the instance-specific information already acquired.
