Dear Anda,

I can only think on this old survey from 1997:
http://machine-learning.martinsewell.com/feature-selection/DashLiu1997.pdf

In general, feature selection helps reducing the amount of memory to use
during the training and the posterior classification. In AWS, the default
classifier is a random forest, which works very well even in the presence
of too many non-informative features. If you have enough RAM, my advice is
that you start playing around with as many features as possible and then
keep reducing them to select the best of them.

The Weka explorer has an option to perform feature selection as well.

I hope this helps!
