Multi-population Diversity-guided Genetic Algorithm for Feature Selection in Network Intrusion Detection
Researchers have developed a Multi-Population Diversity-Guided Genetic Algorithm (MPDGGA) to improve feature selection for Network Intrusion Detection Systems. This new algorithm addresses limitations in existing genetic algorithm approaches by maintaining population diversity and guiding evolutionary operators. Experiments across multiple datasets demonstrated that MPDGGA significantly outperforms other advanced models, achieving higher accuracy on most tested datasets and reducing the number of selected features by at least 2.26%.
