Attribute (Feature) Completion - The Theory of Attributes from Data Mining Prospect Tsay Young Lin   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Main-Track Regular Papers Abstract A "correct" selection of attributes (features) is vital in data mining. As a first step, this paper constructs all possible attributes of a given relation. The results are based on the observations that each relation is isomorphic to a unique abstract relation, called canonical model. The complete set of attributes of the canonical model is, then, constructed. Any attribute of a relation can be interpreted (via isomorphism) from such a complete set.
