A novel feature-selection approach based on the cuttlefish optimization algorithm for intrusion detection systems

作者:

Highlights:

• A modified version of the cuttlefish algorithm is discussed.

• The proposed model can be used as a novel feature-selection model.

• Cuttlefish algorithm is used as a search strategy to find optimal subset of features.

• Decision tree is used to evaluate the quality of the selected features.

• Data pre-processing for feature selection is also examined in the paper.
