Abstract
In response to issues of high dimensionality and sparsity in machine learning, it is proposed to use a multiple output regression modeling module that takes into account information on groups of related predictor features and groups of related regressions, both given as input, and outputs a regression model with selected feature groups. Optionally, the method can be employed as a component in methods of causal influence detection, which are applied on a time series training data set representing the time-evolving content generated by community members, output a model of causal relationships and a ranking of the members according to their influence.
