Abstract:
Feature selection (FS) methods are necessary to develop intelligent analysis tools that require data preprocessing and enhancing the performance of the machine learning algorithms. FS aims to maximize the classification accuracy by minimizing the number of selected features. This paper presents a new FS method using a modified Slime mould algorithm (SMA) based on the firefly algorithm (FA). In the developed SMAFA, FA is adopted to improve the exploration of SMA, since it has high ability to discover the feasible regions which have optima solution. This will lead to enhance the convergence by increasing the quality of the final output. SMAFA is evaluated using twenty UCI datasets and also with comprehensive comparisons to a number of the existing MH algorithms. To further assess the applicability of SMAFA, two high-dimensional datasets related to the QSAR modeling are used. Experimental results verified the promising performance of SMAFA using different performance measures.
