Abstract
En 中文
Due to good exploration capability, particle swarm optimization (PSO) has shown advantages on solving supervised feature selection problems. Compared with supervised and semi-supervised cases, unsupervised feature selection becomes very difficult as a result of no label information. This paper studies a novel PSO-based unsupervised feature selection method, called filter-based bare-bone particle swarm optimization algorithm (FBPSO). Two filter-based strategies are proposed to speed up the convergence of the algorithm. One is a space reduction strategy based on average mutual information, which is used to remove irrelevant and weakly relevant features fast; another is a local filter search strategy based on feature redundancy, which is used to improve the exploitation capability of the swarm. And, a feature similarity-based evaluation function and a parameter-free update strategy of particle are introduced to enhance the performance of FBPSO. Experimental results on some typical datasets confirm superiority and effectiveness of the proposed FBPSO.
