description With the advancement of the Internet, social media platforms have gradually become powerful in spreading crisis-related content. Identifying informative tweets associated with natural disasters is beneficial for the rescue operation. When faced with massive text data, choosing the pivotal features, reducing the calculation expense, and increasing the model classification performance is a significant challenge. Therefore, this study proposes a multi-strategy improved black-winged kite algorithm (MSBKA) for feature selection of natural disaster tweets classification based on the wrapper method’s principle. Firstly, BKA is improved by utilizing the enhanced Circle mapping, integrating the hierarchical reverse learning, and introducing the Nelder–Mead method. Then, MSBKA is combined with the excellent classifier SVM (RBF kernel function) to construct a hybrid model. Finally, the MSBKA-SVM model performs feature selection and tweet classification tasks. The empirical analysis of the data from four natural disasters shows that the proposed model has achieved an accuracy of 0.8822. Compared with GA, PSO, SSA, and BKA, the accuracy is increased by 4.34%, 2.13%, 2.94%, and 6.35%, respectively. This research proves that the MSBKA-SVM model can play a supporting role in reducing disaster risk.
