As a commonly used technique in data preprocessing, feature selection selects a subset of informative attributes or variables to build models describing data. By removing redundant and irrelevant or noise features, feature selection can improve the predictive accuracy and the comprehensibility of the predictors or classifiers. Many feature selection algorithms with different selection criteria has been introduced by researchers. However, it is discovered that no single criterion is best for all applications. In this paper, we propose a framework based on a genetic algorithm (GA) for feature subset selection that combines various existing feature selection methods. The advantages of this approach include the ability to accommodate multiple feature selection criteria and find small subsets of features that perform well for a particular inductive learning algorithm of interest to build the classifier. We conducted experiments using three data sets and three existing feature selection methods. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach is a robust and effective approach to find subsets of features with higher classification accuracy and/or smaller size compared to each individual feature selection algorithm.

A new neural network prediction model is proposed for predicting ship motion attitude with high accuracy. This prediction model is based on an adaptive dynamic particle swarm optimization algorithm (ADPSO) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural network, which is to optimize the hyperparameters of BiLSTM neural network by the proposed ADPSO algorithm. The ADPSO algorithm introduces dynamic search space strategy into the classical particle swarm optimization algorithm and adjusts the learning factor adaptively to balance the global and local search ability, so as to improve the optimization performance and improve its optimization effect in BiLSTM parameter optimization process. The results show that the model can obtain higher prediction accuracy and faster convergence speed, and has better prediction performance in the prediction of ship motion attitude.
