Feature Selection Based on BP Neural Network and Adaptive Particle Swarm Algorithm

Feature selection can classify the data with irrelevant features and improve the accuracy of data classification in pattern classification. At present, back propagation (BP) neural network and particle swarm optimization algorithm can be well combined with feature selection. On this basis, this paper adds interference factors to BP neural network and particle swarm optimization algorithm to improve the accuracy and practicability of feature selection. This paper summarizes the basic methods and requirements for feature selection and combines the benefits of global optimization with the feedback mechanism of BP neural networks to feature based on backpropagation and particle swarm optimization (BP-PSO). Firstly, a chaotic model is introduced to increase the diversity of particles in the initial process of particle swarm optimization, and an adaptive factor is introduced to enhance the global search ability of the algorithm. Then, the number of features is optimized to reduce the number of features on the basis of ensuring the accuracy of feature selection. Finally, different data sets are introduced to test the accuracy of feature selection, and the evaluation mechanisms of encapsulation mode and filtering mode are used to verify the practicability of the model. The results show that the average accuracy of BP-PSO is 8.65% higher than the suboptimal NDFs model in different data sets, and the performance of BP-PSO is 2.31% to 18.62% higher than the benchmark method in all data sets. It shows that BP-PSO can select more distinguishing feature subsets, which verifies the accuracy and practicability of this model.
