A novel algorithm for fuzzy-rough bireducts with particle swarm optimization is proposed. The fitness function with ε-bireduct is employed to evaluate the candidate fuzzy-rough bireducts, which drives the particle swarm optimization search process toward better candidate solutions. The selected optimal bireduct is utilized to construct the subsequent classifier. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the counterpart, which reduces the instances and features effectively, and obtains high-quality bireducts. The classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm is thus better than the counterpart. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2020-237
