Am I the first one to post? Wake up, guys!
I think the double clustering idea in this paper is neat, which catch the duality of feature/class. I want to try to relate this paper with the papers I presented in the class. Is the Information Bottleneck is a similar construct as Markov Blanket, in the sense they both reduce the dimensionality of a problem? MB models dependencies between features and eliminate "redundant" ones, IB simply use classification cluster, the "bottleneck" as compact representation of the features. In another word, IB works on the power set space of features.
