As classification accuracy is strongly dependent on the set of features used as input variables. For automatic feature acquisition, the literature provides us with numerous strategies aiming to find a “best” set of features. Thus we need to find a “best” set of features given a constraint on the computational complexity or cost of the feature acquisition, which may dominate the cost of the classifier. In our work we improve on the accuracy of ACO FSS algorithm by incorporating the Perceptron Classifier as fitness function of ACO whose classification error is taken as the Cost of Classifier. This method improves on accuracy of selecting minimum number of features with maximum accuracy achieved.
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.
