Background: An efficient feature selection method for Histopathological image classification plays an important role to eliminate irrelevant and redundant features. Therefore, this paper proposes a new levy flight salp swarm optimizer based feature selection method. Methods: The proposed levy flight salp swarm optimizer based feature selection method uses the levy flight steps for each follower salp to deviate them from local optima. The best solution returns the relevant and non-redundant features, which are fed to different classifiers for efficient and robust image classification. Results: The efficiency of the proposed levy flight salp swarm optimizer has been verified on 20 benchmark functions. The anticipated scheme beats the other considered meta-heuristic approaches. Furthermore, the anticipated feature selection method has shown better reduction in SURF features than other considered methods and performed well for histopathological image classification. Conclusion: This paper proposes an efficient levy flight salp Swarm Optimizer by modifying the step size of follower salp. The proposed modification reduces the chances of sticking into local optima. Furthermore, levy flight salp Swarm Optimizer has been utilized in the selection of optimum features from SURF features for the histopathological image classification. The simulation results validate that proposed method provides optimal values and high classification performance in comparison to other methods.

Background: The massive amount of biomedical data accumulated in the past decades can be utilized for diagnosing disease. Objective: However, its high dimensionality, small sample sizes, and irrelevant features often have a negative influence on the accuracy and speed of disease prediction. Some existing machine learning models cannot capture the patterns on these datasets accurately without utilizing feature selection. Methods: Filter and wrapper are two prevailing feature selection methods. The filter method is fast but has low prediction accuracy, while the latter can obtain high accuracy but has a formidable computation cost. Given the drawbacks of using filter or wrapper individually, a novel feature selection method, called MRMR-EFPATS, is proposed, which hybridizes filter method minimum redundancy maximum relevance (MRMR) and wrapper method based on an improved flower pollination algorithm (FPA). First, MRMR is employed to rank and screen out some important features quickly. These features are further chosen into population individual of the following wrapper method for faster convergence and less computational time. Then, due to its efficiency and flexibility, FPA is adopted to further discover an optimal feature subset. Result: FPA still has some drawbacks such as slow convergence rate, inadequacy in terms of searching for new solutions, and tends to be trapped in local optima. In our work, an elite strategy is adopted to improve the convergence speed of the FPA. Tabu search and Adaptive Gaussian Mutation are employed to improve the search capability of FPA and escape from local optima. Here, the KNN classifier with the 5-fold-CV is utilized to evaluate the classification accuracy. Conclusion: Extensive experimental results on six public high dimensional biomedical datasets show that the proposed MRMR-EFPATS has achieved superior performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods.

In this work, we show that the classification performance of a high-dimensional features data can be improved by applying feature selection method. One-way ANOVA were utilized and to evaluate the performance measure of the feature selection method, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that ANN performance using feature that undergo feature selection method produce a better classification accuracy compared to the ANN performance using feature that did not undergo feature selection method with 93.33% against 80.00% accuracy achieved. Therefore can be conclude that feature selection is a process that is crucial to be done in order to produce a good performance rate.
