An efficient synthesis of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones or spiro[cyclohexene-1,2'-imidazol]-4'-ones has been achieved in moderate to high yields by the visible light-induced and N-bromosuccinimide-mediated cyclization reaction of 2-azido-N-phenylacetamides at ambient temperature. Both the regioselectivity and the speed of cyclization are affected by the substituents attached to the phenyl ring. For example, quinoxalin-2-ones are produced as the main products when the substrates bear electron-withdrawing groups at the para-position of the phenyl ring; in contrast, spiro[cyclohexene-1,2'-imidazol]-4'-ones are obtained as the main products when the substrates bear electron-donating groups at the para-position.
Feature selection is an important method to reduce the number of attributes of high-dimensional data and an essential preprocess work in classification. It eliminates irrelevant, redundant, and noisy features improves the performance of the model and reduces the computational burden. Fruit fly optimization algorithm is a new algorithm proposed in recent years, which imitates the foraging behavior of fruit fly. To the best of our knowledge, it has not been systematically applied to feature selection. This paper uses the fruit fly optimization algorithm as a search strategy and designs a wrapper-based feature selection method, named binary improved fruit fly optimization algorithm (BIFFOA). Besides, four different strategies based on evolutionary population dynamics (EPD) and new mutation operators are employed to enhance the BIFFOA. The extensive experiments on 25 datasets (see Table 1) show that the performance of the BIFFOA is better than several state-of-the-art algorithms.
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.
