Abstract

Feature selection is an important data preprocessing technique in classification problems. This paper focuses on a new feature selection problem, in which sampling data of different features have different reliability degree. First, the problem is modeled as a multi-objective optimization. There two objectives should be optimized simultaneously: reliability and classifying accuracy of feature subset. Then, a multi-objective feature selection method based on particle swarm optimization, called JMOPSO, is proposed by incorporating several effective operators. Finally, experimental results suggest that the proposed JMOPSO is a highly competitive feature selection method for solving the feature selection problem with unreliable data.
