In classification, every feature of the data set is an important contributor towards prediction accuracy and affects the model building cost. To extract the priority features for prediction, a suitable feature selector is schemed. This paper proposes a novel memetic based feature selection model named Shapely Value Embedded Genetic Algorithm (SVEGA). The relevance of each feature towards prediction is measured by assembling genetic algorithms with shapely value measures retrieved from SVEGA. The obtained results are then evaluated using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with different kernel configurations on 11 + 11 benchmark datasets (both binary class and multi class). Eventually, a contrasting analysis is done between SVEGA-SVM and other existing feature selection models. The experimental results with the proposed setup provides robust outcome; hence proving it to be an efficient approach for discovering knowledge via feature selection with improved classification accuracy compared to conventional methods.
