The proposed method includes two steps: Scheming an evaluation function to create the rank of the feature significance, constructing a new Binary Search Feature Subset (BSFS) algorithm to generate the optimum feature subset. We have applied the proposed method on a Modular Perceptron Network (MPN) to learn the realworld datasets. It shows that from the experimental results the feature of the input data can be decreased largely (less 75%~88%), the data presentations are reduced (less 67%~ 91%) and a small size MPNs can be procured with learning and testing performance maintained as the good level as before.
