A Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm for Feature Selection in Data Mining

Abstract

The rapid advance of computer based highthroughput technique have provided unparalleled opportunities for humans to expand capabilities in production, services, communications, and research. Meanwhile, immense quantities of high-dimensional data are accumulated challenging state-of-the-art data mining techniques .The intelligent analysis of Databases may be affected by the presence of unimportant features, which motivates the application of Feature Selection. By treating this task as a search and optimization process, it is possible to use the synergy between Genetic Algorithms and Multi-objective Optimization to carry out the search for (quasi) optimal subsets of features considering possible conflicting importance criteria. This work presents an application of Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms to the Feature Selection problem, combining different criteria measuring the importance of the subsets of features.
