Abstract In many fields such as signal processing, machine learning, pattern
recognition and data mining, it is common practice to process datasets containing
huge numbers of features. In such cases, Feature Selection (FS) is often involved.
Meanwhile, owing to their excellent global search ability, evolutionary
computation techniques have been widely employed to the FS. So, as a powerful
global search method and calculation fast than other EC algorithms, PSO can solve
features selection problems well. However, when facing a large number of feature
selection, the efficiency of PSO drops significantly. Therefore, plenty of works
have been… More >
