Abstract

For feature selection problems on high-dimensional data, this paper proposes a surrogate-assisted ensemble particle swarm feature selection algorithm, by combining the global search ability of evolutionary algorithm with the fast search ability of filter method. A space partition method based on K-nearest neighbors is proposed to select represent samples as surrogate. The proposed ensemble algorithm is applied to several datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain feature subsets with higher classification accuracy in less computing time.
