Unsupervised probabilistic feature selection using ant colony optimization

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposed an unsupervised method to remove redundant and irrelevant features.

• The algorithm needs no learning algorithms and class label to select features.

• Similarity between features will be considered in computation of feature relevance.
