With the development of bioinformatics, gene expression microarray and image recognition, classification on high-dimensional and small-sample-size data has become a challenging task in data ming, machine learning and pattern recognition as well. High-dimensional and small-sample-size data may cause the problem of "curse of dimensionality" and overfitting. Feature selection can prevent the "curse of dimensionality" effectively and promote the generalization ability of classification mode, and thus become a hot research topic. Accordingly, some recent development of world-wide research on feature selection in high-dimensional and small-sample-size classification was briefly reviewed. Firstly, the nature of high-dimensional and small-sample feature selection was analyzed. Secondly, according to their essential difference, feature selection algorithms for high-dimensional and small-sample-size classification were divided into four categories and compared to summarize their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, challenges and prospects for future trends of feature selection in high-dimensional small-sample-size data were proposed.
In order to improve the security of secure communication, a new Generalized Hybrid Dislocated Function Projective Synchronization (GHDFPS) based on generalized hybrid dislocated projective synchronization and function projective synchronization was researched by Lyapunov stability theory and adaptive active control method. At the same time, the control methods of GHDFPS between two different-order chaotic systems with uncertain parameter and parameter identification were presented, and the application of the novel synchronization on secure communication was analyzed. By strict mathematical proof and numerical simulation, the GHDFPS between two different-order chaotic systems with uncertain parameter were achieved, the uncertain parameter was identified. Because of the variety of function scaling factor matrix, the security of secure communication has been increased by GHDFPS. Moreover, this synchronization form and method of control were applied to secure communication via chaotic masking modulation. Many information signals can be recovered and validated.
