A hybrid approach of differential evolution and artificial bee colony for feature selection

作者:

Highlights:

• We developed a hybrid method for feature selection of classification tasks.

• Our hybrid method combines Artificial Bee Colony with Differential Evolution.

• We performed experiments over fifteen datasets from the UCI Repository.

• Our method selects good features without reducing accuracy of classification.

• By selecting features with our method, we reduced time required for classification.
