Federated multi-label text feature selection via manifold-aware sparse modeling and cooperative grey wolf optimization
摘要
Feature selection (FS) for multi-label text classification faces issues such as high dimensionality, strong label correlations, and sparse features, which often lead to suboptimal feature subsets. Moreover, most existing methods are centralized and thus ill-suited to real-world distributed or federated settings, where text data are scattered across multiple nodes and effective FS mechanisms are lacking. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes Fed-MSMCGWO, a federated multi-label text feature selection method based on manifold-aware sparse modeling and cooperative grey wolf optimization. Under a federated learning framework, Fed-MSMCGWO integrates manifold-aware sparse modeling (MSM), and incorporates a cooperative grey wolf optimization algorithm (CGWO) to enable multi-label text FS in distributed environments. On each client, Fed-MSMCGWO employs a two-stage optimization. In Stage 1, MSM is learned by constructing sample and label graphs from text embeddings, encoding their manifolds with Laplacians, and imposing a
