Abstract: The concept of intraclass dispersity and interclass concentration was proposed based on the traditional information gain feature se lection algorithm. Combined with the traditional information gain algorithm, i t solved the problem of performance degradation caused by ignoring the distribut ion of the characteristic items and improved the efficiency of the information g ain algorithm. The improved feature selection algorithm was applied to the spam filtering experiment. Compared with the traditional feature selection algorithms under different classifiers, the experimental results show that the improved fe ature selection algorithm has better performance.
