Abstract

the feature selection process is considered a problem of global combinatorial optimization technique that aims to reduce the number of features, removes irrelevant, noisy and redundant data and results in standard classification accuracy. Feature selection plays key role in machine learning, pattern classification and data mining applications. Therefore, a good feature selection method is needed based on the number of features investigated for sample classification in order to speed up the processing, to reduce the time complexity ,to rate predictive accuracy, and to reduce computational complexity. Although a large body of research has delved into this problem, there is a paucity of survey that indicates trends and directions. This paper attempts to categorize the prevalent popular optimization techniques in feature selection that deals with enhancing classification performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
