The high dimensionality of features is a troublesome and can affect the performance of the classification. Therefore, feature selection is strongly considered as one of the crucial part in text document categorization. Selecting the best features to represent documents can reduce the dimensionality of feature space hence increase the performance. There were many approaches has been implemented by various researchers to overcome this problem. This paper proposed a novel hybrid approach for feature selection in text document categorization based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Information Gain (IG). We also presented state-of-the-art algorithms by several other researchers. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-78651593676&partnerID=40&md5=c59ed4f89ed18c5bff83ca741a230819 full_text_status: none publication: World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology volume: 72 pagerange: 137-141 refereed: TRUE issn: 2010376X citation: Zaiyadi, M.F. and Baharudin, B.
