Due to advancement in technology, a huge volume of data is generated. Extracting knowledgeable data from this voluminous information is a difficult task. Therefore, machine learning techniques like classification, clustering, information retrieval, feature selection and data analysis has become core of recent research. These techniques can also be solved using Nature Inspired Algorithms. Nature Inspired Algorithms is inspired by processes, observed from nature. Feature Selection is helpful in finding subset of prominent components to enhance prescient precision and to expel the excess features. This chapter surveys seven nature inspired algorithms, namely Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms, Artificial Bees Colony Algorithms, Firefly Algorithms, Bat Algorithms, Cuckoo Search and Genetic Algorithms and its application in feature selections. The significance of this chapter is to present comprehensive review of nature inspired algorithms to be applied in feature selections.

Educational Data Mining (EDM) is an emerging research area help the educational institutions to improve the performance of their students. Feature Selection (FS) algorithms remove irrelevant data from the educational dataset and hence increases the performance of classifiers used in EDM techniques. This paper present an analysis of the performance of feature selection algorithms on student data set. .In this papers the different problems that are defined in problem formulation. All these problems are resolved in future. Furthermore the paper is an attempt of playing a positive role in the improvement of education quality, as well as guides new researchers in making academic intervention.

The paper describes a procedure for automatic selection of symptoms accompanying the break in the synchronous motor armature winding coils. This procedure, called the feature selection, leads to choosing from a full set of features describing the problem, such a subset that would allow the best distinguishing between healthy and damaged states. As the features the spectra components amplitudes of the motor current signals were used. The full spectra of current signals are considered as the multidimensional feature spaces and their subspaces are tested. Particular subspaces are chosen with the aid of genetic algorithm and their goodness is tested using Mahalanobis distance measure. The algorithm searches for such a subspaces for which this distance is the greatest. The algorithm is very efficient and, as it was confirmed by research, leads to good results. The proposed technique is successfully applied in many other fields of science and technology, including medical diagnostics.
