Abstract:

To improve the performance of meta-learning algorithm selection, a meta-feature selection method based on ant lion algorithm is proposed. Firstly, an initial population is constructed through a robust initialization mechanism to enhance the robustness of the selected meta-feature subset. Secondly, dynamic boundary strategy is applied in the search process of individual solutions to increase the population diversity of the method. Then, the chaos map mutation strategy is used to improve the optimization performance of the method, give the method pseudocode and analyze the time complexity. Finally, classification algorithm selection problem are constructed using 130 datasets, 150 meta features, eight candidate algorithms, and five performance indicators for testing experiments. The parameter sensitivity and mechanism strategy effectiveness of the method are analyzed. The performance of the method is evaluated and compared through accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score indicators, verifying the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
