Abstract

Feature selection is an effective tool for processing data. It is employed to eliminate redundant or irrelevant features and select optimal feature subsets to improve the performance of learning models. The gradient-based optimizer (GBO) received extensive attention in solving different optimization problems, which have the gradient search rule (GSR) and the local escaping operation (LEO). However, when addressing complex optimization and feature selection problems, GBO exhibits deficiencies in balancing global exploration and exploitation, and tends to converge to local optima. This article presents a modified version of GBO, named FWZGBO, for solving feature selection problems. Firstly, inspired by the iterative method and its theory, we propose an enhanced strategy for significantly accelerating the search capability in GSR. This strategy utilizes an optimal fourth-order iterative method to perform the corresponding function of the second-order Newton's method. Secondly, we suggest an enhanced refraction learning approach with Gaussian distribution to help the algorithm escape from local optima and enhance population diversity. Thirdly, this work devises a new adaptive weight based on the cosine strategy in both GSR and LEO to attain a harmonious balance between exploration and exploitation. To validate the performance of the FWZGBO algorithm, 28 benchmark functions and 20 well-known datasets are tested and compared with 14 optimization algorithms. The experimental results show that FWZGBO is significantly superior in solving global optimization and feature selection problems. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the FWZGBO algorithm is validated using the Friedman test with the corresponding post-hoc test.

基于梯度的多策略特征选择优化算法
特征选择是一种有效的数据处理工具。它用来消除冗余或不相关的特征,选择最优的特征子集,以提高学习模型的性能。基于梯度的优化器(GBO)在求解具有梯度搜索规则(GSR)和局部转义操作(LEO)的各种优化问题中受到了广泛的关注。然而,在解决复杂的优化和特征选择问题时,GBO在平衡全局勘探和开发方面存在不足,并且倾向于收敛于局部最优。本文提出了GBO的一个修改版本,名为FWZGBO,用于解决特征选择问题。首先,受迭代方法及其理论的启发,我们提出了一种增强策略,可以显著提高GSR的搜索能力。该策略利用最优四阶迭代法来执行二阶牛顿法的相应功能。其次,我们提出了一种增强的高斯分布折射学习方法,以帮助算法摆脱局部最优,增强种群多样性。第三,本文设计了一种基于余弦策略的自适应权值,在GSR和LEO中实现了探索和利用的和谐平衡。为了验证FWZGBO算法的性能,对28个基准函数和20个知名数据集进行了测试,并与14种优化算法进行了比较。实验结果表明,FWZGBO在解决全局优化和特征选择问题上具有显著的优越性。同时,采用Friedman检验和相应的事后检验验证了FWZGBO算法的有效性。
