Abstract:Feature selection as a dimension reduction method can reduce the computational complexity of high-dimensional data. However, traditional methods mostly focus on single-objective optimization, which is difficult to balance the classification accuracy and the number of features at the same time, especially in high-dimensional data with the problem of insufficient convergence. To address this problem, a multi-objective feature selection algorithm (QSNSGA-II) based on reinforcement learning and dual-population strategy is proposed, which dynamically adjusts the key parameters through reinforcement learning to accelerate the convergence speed while maintaining the diversity of the population. A two-population co-evolutionary strategy is used to enhance the global search capability and improve the performance of the algorithm. Through experiments on several UCI datasets, especially on the high-dimensional datasets Musk1 and Sonar datasets, the accuracy reached 91.1585% and 84.636%, which demonstrated the excellent feature selection effect of the algorithm and better convergence and diversity.
