We study the problem of balancing effectiveness and efficiency in automated feature selection. After exploring many feature selection methods, we observe a computational dilemma: 1) traditional feature selection is mostly efficient, but difficult to identify the best subset; 2) the emerging reinforced feature selection automatically navigates to the best subset, but is usually inefficient. Can we bridge the gap between effectiveness and efficiency under automation? Motivated by this dilemma, we aim to develop a novel feature space navigation method. In our preliminary work, we leveraged interactive reinforcement learning to accelerate feature selection by external trainer-agent interaction. In this journal version, we propose a novel interactive and closed-loop architecture to simultaneously model interactive reinforcement learning (IRL) and decision tree feedback (DTF). Specifically, IRL is to create an interactive feature selection loop and DTF is to feed structured feature knowledge back to the loop. First, the tree-structured feature hierarchy from decision tree is leveraged to improve state representation. In particular, we represent the selected feature subset as an undirected graph of feature-feature correlations and a directed tree of decision features. We propose a new embedding method capable of empowering graph convolutional network to jointly learn state representation from both the graph and the tree. Second, the tree-structured feature hierarchy is exploited to develop a new reward scheme. In particular, we personalize reward assignment of agents based on decision tree feature importance. In addition, observing agents' actions can be feedback, we devise another reward scheme, to weigh and assign reward based on the feature selected frequency ratio in historical action records. Finally, we present extensive experiments on real-world datasets to show the improved performance.
