New framework offers provable FDR control for deep learning feature selection

A new research paper introduces a flexible feature selection framework utilizing deep neural networks to control the false discovery rate (FDR). This method is applicable to a wide range of deep learning architectures, including MLPs, convolutional, and recurrent networks, and supports stochastic gradient descent. The theoretical guarantee of FDR control is provided under specific asymptotic conditions, with numerical experiments supporting the findings. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable feature selection in complex deep learning models, improving their interpretability and performance.

    Provable FDR Control for Deep Feature Selection: Deep MLPs and Beyond

    arXiv:2512.04696v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop a flexible feature selection framework based on deep neural networks that approximately controls the false discovery rate (FDR), a measure of Type-I error. The method applies to architectures whose first layer is full…
