New MMAO-Cls method optimizes classification models with compact feature selection

Researchers have developed MMAO-Cls, a novel approach that adapts the Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer (MMAO) for classification model selection. This method jointly encodes feature masks and classifier hyperparameters, incorporating mechanisms for feature-budget adaptation and regularization. While MMAO-Cls demonstrated competitive performance on tabular benchmarks, ranking second in aggregate objective and showing improvements in held-out test performance over some methods, its advantages in feature subset compactness were more clearly established than its communal sharing benefits.

    MMAO-Cls: Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimization for Joint Feature Selection and Classifier Tuning

    This paper studies whether the Metabolic Multi-Agent Optimizer (MMAO) can act as a credible outer-loop optimizer for classification model selection. We propose MMAO-Cls, a mixed-space realization in which each agent jointly encodes a binary feature mask and classifier hyperparame…
