Description
Summary:Abstract The difficulty of selecting features efficiently in histopathology image analysis remains unresolved. Furthermore, the majority of current approaches have approached feature selection as a single objective issue. This research presents an enhanced multi-objective whale optimisation algorithm-based feature selection technique as a solution. To mine optimal feature sets, the suggested technique makes use of a unique variation known as the enhanced multi-objective whale optimisation algorithm. To verify the optimisation capability, the suggested variation has been evaluated on 10 common multi-objective CEC2009 benchmark functions. Furthermore, by comparing five classifiers in terms of accuracy, mean number of selected features, and calculation time, the effectiveness of the suggested strategy is verified against three other feature-selection techniques already in use. The experimental findings show that, when compared to the other approaches under consideration, the suggested method performed better on the assessed parameters.
