Abstract Since the sensitivity of neighborhood method for irrelevant features is high, an unsupervised feature selection algorithm based on neighborhood preserving learning(NPL) is proposed by utilizing the reconstruction coefficient of neighborhood to maintain the original data structure. Firstly, according to the similarity of each data and its neighborhood, the similarity matrix is constructed and a low dimensional space is built by introducing a mid-matrix. Secondly, an effective feature subset is selected by the Laplace multiplier method. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with six state-of-the-art feature selection methods on four publicly available datasets. Experimental results show the proposed method effectively identifies the representative features.
