Integration of graph clustering with ant colony optimization for feature selection

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel supervised filter-based feature selection method using ACO is proposed.

• Our method integrates graph clustering with a modified ant colony search process.

• Each feature set is evaluated using a novel measure without using any learning model.

• The sizes of the final feature set is determined automatically.

• The method is compared to the state-of-the-art filter and wrapper based methods.
