Purpose Owing to the huge volume of documents available on the internet, text classification becomes a necessary task to handle these documents. To achieve optimal text classification results, feature selection, an important stage, is used to curtail the dimensionality of text documents by choosing suitable features. The main purpose of this research work is to classify the personal computer documents based on their content. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a new algorithm for feature selection based on artificial bee colony (ABCFS) to enhance the text classification accuracy. The proposed algorithm (ABCFS) is scrutinized with the real and benchmark data sets, which is contrary to the other existing feature selection approaches such as information gain and χ2 statistic. To justify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, the support vector machine (SVM) and improved SVM classifier are used in this paper. Findings The experiment was conducted on real and benchmark data sets. The real data set was collected in the form of documents that were stored in the personal computer, and the benchmark data set was collected from Reuters and 20 Newsgroups corpus. The results prove the performance of the proposed feature selection algorithm by enhancing the text document classification accuracy. Originality/value This paper proposes a new ABCFS algorithm for feature selection, evaluates the efficiency of the ABCFS algorithm and improves the support vector machine. In this paper, the ABCFS algorithm is used to select the features from text (unstructured) documents. Although, there is no text feature selection algorithm in the existing work, the ABCFS algorithm is used to select the data (structured) features. The proposed algorithm will classify the documents automatically based on their content.

Due to high-dimensional feature and strong correlation of features, the classification accuracy of medical data is not as good enough as expected. feature selection is a common algorithm to solve this problem, and selects effective features by reducing the dimensionality of high-dimensional data. However, traditional feature selection algorithms have the blindness of threshold setting and the search algorithms are liable to fall into a local optimal solution. Based on it, this paper proposes a hybrid feature selection algorithm combining ReliefF and Particle swarm optimization. The algorithm is mainly divided into three parts: Firstly, the ReliefF is used to calculate the feature weight, and the features are ranked by the weight. Then ranking feature is grouped according to the density equalization, where the density of features in each group is the same. Finally, the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is used to search the ranking feature groups, and the feature selection is performed according to a new fitness function. Experimental results show that the random forest has the highest classification accuracy on the features selected. More importantly, it has the least number of features. In addition, experimental results on 2 medical datasets show that the average accuracy of random forest reaches 90.20%, which proves that the hybrid algorithm has a certain application value.
