Radiomics is a term which refers to the analysis of the large amount of
quantitative tumor features extracted from medical images to find useful
predictive, diagnostic or prognostic information. Many recent studies have
proved that radiomics can offer a lot of useful information that physicians
cannot extract from the medical images and can be associated with other
information like gene or protein data. However, most of the classification
studies in radiomics report the use of feature selection methods without
identifying the machine learning challenges behind radiomics. In this paper, we
first show that the radiomics problem should be viewed as an high dimensional,
low sample size, multi view learning problem, then we compare different
solutions proposed in multi view learning for classifying radiomics data. Our
experiments, conducted on several real world multi view datasets, show that the
intermediate integration methods work significantly better than filter and
embedded feature selection methods commonly used in radiomics.Comment: conference, 6 pages, 2 figure
