Hybrid fast unsupervised feature selection for high-dimensional data

作者:

Highlights:

• Propose a new hybrid feature selection algorithm based on BACO and clustering.

• Modify linear binary ant system to reduce the search space complexity.

• Inject mutation to increase randomness of search space.

• Feature clustering to decrease the challenges of processing high-dimensional dataset.

• Experiment the method in several real-world social datasets and obtain more efficiency.
