abstract = "With the growing popularity of machine learning (ML),
regression problems in many domains are becoming
increasingly high-dimensional. Identifying relevant
features from a high-dimensional dataset still remains
a significant challenge for building highly accurate
machine learning models.Evolutionary feature selection
has been used for high-dimensional symbolic regression
using Genetic Programming (GP). While grammar based GP,
especially Grammatical Evolution (GE), has been
extensively used for symbolic regression, no systematic
grammar-based feature selection approach exists. This
work presents a grammar-based feature selection method,
Production Ranking based Feature Selection (PRFS), and
reports on the results of its application in symbolic
regression.The main contribution of our work is to
demonstrate that the proposed method can not only
consistently select the most relevant features, but
also significantly improves the generalization
performance of GE when compared with several
state-of-the-art ML-based feature selection methods.
Experimental results on benchmark symbolic regression
problems show that the generalization performance of GE
using PRFS was significantly better than that of a
state-of-the-art Random Forest based feature selection
in three out of four problems, while in fourth problem
the performance was the same.",
