15. Computational health informatics using evolutionary-based feature selection

  • Vanaja Ramaswamy and Saswati Mukherjee

Abstract

This chapter is a recent survey of evolutionary computation (EC)-based feature selection (FS) techniques whose objective is mainly to improve the accuracy of the machine learning algorithm in minimized computation time. The idea is to bring forth the main strengths of EC as a naturally inspired optimization technique for FS in the machine learning process. The modeling of biological and natural intelligence that has made progressive advancements in the recent decade motivates us to review state-of-the-art FS techniques to add more to the area of computational intelligence. Owing to its importance, the use-case in support of health informatics is also exhibited.
