In classification problems efficiency and accuracy of the system can be increased when the dimension is reduced by feature selection. In this study, text classifying application is performed by using the data set of 20 News Group released in Reuters News Agent. The pre-processed news data were converted to vectors by using Doc2Vec method and the data set was created and classified by Naive Bayes method. Subsequently, a subset of the data set was formed by using heuristic methods that were inspired by nature (Whale and Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithms) and Chi-square method for feature selection. Then the reclassification was applied and the results were compared. While the success of the system with 600 features before the feature selection is 0.9214, the performance ratio of the 100 featured models created later is figured higher (0.94095 - 0.93833- 0.93619).trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNatural Language ProcessingDoc2VecWhale OptimizationGrey Wolf OptimizationChi-SquareConference Object2-s2.0-85074896922N/AWOS:000591781100024N/A
