In the realm of high-dimensional data analysis, numerous fields stand to benefit from its applications, including the biological and medical sectors that are crucial for computer-aided disease diagnosis and prediction systems. However, the presence of a significant number of redundant or irrelevant features can adversely affect system accuracy and real-time diagnosis efficiency. To mitigate this issue, this paper proposes two innovative wrapper feature selection (FS) methods that integrate the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm and hybrid rice optimization (HRO). HRO is a recently developed metaheuristic that mimics the breeding process of the three-line hybrid rice, which is yet to be thoroughly explored in the context of solving high-dimensional FS problems. In the first hybridization, ACO is embedded as an evolutionary operator within HRO and updated alternately with it. In the second form of hybridization, two subpopulations evolve independently, sharing the local search results to assist individual updating. In the initial stage preceding hybridization, a problem-oriented heuristic factor assignment strategy based on the importance of the knee point feature is introduced to enhance the global search capability of ACO in identifying the smallest and most representative features. The performance of the proposed algorithms is evaluated on fourteen high-dimensional biomedical datasets and compared with other recently advanced FS methods. Experimental results suggest that the proposed methods are efficient and computationally robust, exhibiting superior performance compared to the other algorithms involved in this study.
Platform ecosystem provides internal firms with an abundant source of green technology knowledge for sustainable development. In a low-carbon economy, green technology could be accumulated via platform, thus utilized to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. From firm’s social capital perspective, this study explores the effects of platform firm’s IT capabilities and external informal knowledge governance on green knowledge integration. A theoretical model is constructed about their direct and interactive effects. Based on 372 samples of platform firms, the empirical test results show that IT capabilities have a significant positive impact on collaborative and sysematic green knowledge integration; external informal knowledge governance has a significant positive impact on socialized and collaborative green knowledge integration; and their interactive effects pose significant positive impact on socialized, collaborative, and systematic green knowledge integration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
