A PSO-based multi-objective multi-label feature selection method in classification

Abstract Feature selection is an important data preprocessing technique in multi-label classification. Although a large number of studies have been proposed to tackle feature selection problem, there are a few cases for multi-label data. This paper studies a multi-label feature selection algorithm u...
