This is less of a technical question, but more of a conceptual one. You
can't train an algorithm on one set of features and then run it on a
different one with a different number of features.
you need to have equally structured input in both training and testing
stage. This could be done (think e.g. PCA projection), but whether it makes
sense in you context is impossible to tell at this point.
