Finally,experiments with both natural and artificial data are carried out to compare with other methods,and the results approve the validity of the algorithm.展开更多

Although havin...To avoid the curse of dimensionality, text categorization （TC） algorithms based on machine learning （ML） have to use an feature selection （FS） method to reduce the dimensionality of feature space. Although having been widely used, FS process will generally cause information losing and then have much side-effect on the whole performance of TC algorithms. On the basis of the sparsity characteristic of text vectors, a new TC algorithm based on lazy feature selection （LFS） is presented. As a new type of embedded feature selection approach, the LFS method can greatly reduce the dimension of features without any information losing, which can improve both efficiency and performance of algorithms greatly. The experiments show the new algorithm can simultaneously achieve much higher both performance and efficiency than some of other classical TC algorithms.展开更多

Firstly, the multilevel elitist roles based dynamics equilibrium strategy is established, and both immigration and emigration of elitists are able to be self-adaptive to balance between exploration and exploitation for feature selection. Secondly, the utility matrix of trust margins is introduced to the model of multilevel elitist roles to enhance various elitist roles＇ performance of searching the optimal feature subsets, and the win-win utility solutions for feature selec- tion can be attained. Meanwhile, a novel ensemble quantum game strategy is designed as an intriguing exhibiting structure to perfect the dynamics equilibrium of multilevel elitist roles. Finally, the en- semble manner of multilevel elitist roles is employed to achieve the global minimal feature subset, which will greatly improve the fea- sibility and effectiveness. Experiment results show the proposed EERQG algorithm has superiority compared to the existing feature selection algorithms.展开更多
