Abstract

Feature subset selection is used as a common technique in data pre-processing for pattern recognition, machine learning and data mining has attracted much attention in recent years. A good feature selection method can reduce the cost of feature measurement and increase classifier efficiency and classification accuracy. One approach in the feature selection area is employing population based optimization algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based method and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based method. In this paper ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO) is compared to Genetic algorithm (GA) using feature selection. Finally a comparative study is done to know the pros and cons of the work done.
