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 >
