Algorithm 1 Ranking Discriminating Features Algorithm

Input: $C O N N_{m \times n}$ Output: $I n d i c e s_{S \times 1}$

1:
$C O D E S_{m \times d} \leftarrow T e a c h e r N e u r a l N e t w o r k (CONN)$
2:
$W_{m \times h} \leftarrow S t u d e n t N e u r a l N e t w o r k (CONN, CODES)$
3:
$I n d i c e s_{S \times 1} \leftarrow D i a g (W . W^{T})$
4:
$I n d i c e s_{S \times 1} \leftarrow A r g S o r t (I n d i c e s)$
