Abstract Feature selection is a crucial technique in text classification for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of classifiers or machine learning techniques by reducing the dataset’s dimensionality. This involves eliminating irrelevant, redundant, and noisy features to streamline the classification process. Various methods, from single feature selection techniques to ensemble filter-wrapper methods, have been used in the literature. Metaheuristic algorithms have become popular due to their ability to handle optimization complexity and the continuous influx of text documents. Feature selection is inherently multi-objective, balancing the enhancement of feature relevance, accuracy, and the reduction of redundant features. This… More >

Abstract Speech emotion recognition (SER) uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions. The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high, so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system. The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy. First, we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals. Then, we employ a multi-objective ranking method… More >
