Ant Colony Optimization for Feature Subset Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic inspired by the behavior of real ants in their search for the shortest paths to food sources. It has recently attracted a lot of attention and has been successfully applied to a number of different optimization problems. Due to the importance of the feature selection problem and the potential of ACO, this paper presents a novel method that utilizes the ACO algorithm to implement a feature subset search procedure. Initial results obtained using the classification of speech segments are very promising. Keywords—Ant Colony Optimization, ant systems, feature selection, pattern recognition.

Feature Subset Selection Based on Ant Colony Optimization and Support Vector Machine
One of the significant research problems in pattern recognition is the feature subset selection. It is applied to select a subset of features, from a much larger set, through the elimination of variables that produce noise or strictly correlated with other already selected features, such that the selected subset is sufficient to perform the classification task. A hybrid method using ant colony ...

متن کاملDiagnosis of the disease using an ant colony gene selection method based on information gain ratio using fuzzy rough sets
With the advancement of metagenome data mining science has become focused on microarrays. Microarrays are datasets with a large number of genes that are usually irrelevant to the output class; hence, the process of gene selection or feature selection is essential. So, it follows that you can remove redundant genes and increase the speed and accuracy of classification. After applying the gene se...
متن کاملFast and Improved Feature subset selection Algorithm Based Clustering for High Dimensional Data
The Clustering is a method of grouping the information into modules or clusters. Their dimensionality increases usually with a tiny number of dimensions that are significant to definite clusters, but data in the unrelated dimensions may produce much noise and wrap the actual clusters to be exposed. Attribute subset selection method is frequently used for data reduction through removing unrelate...
