Abstract: Feature selection (FS) methods play essential roles in different machine learning applications. Several FS methods have been developed; however, those FS methods that depend on metaheuristic (MH) algorithms showed impressive performance in various domains. Thus, in this paper, based on the recent advances in MH algorithms, we introduce a new FS technique to modify the performance of the Dwarf Mongoose Optimization (DMO) Algorithm using quantum-based optimization (QBO). The main idea is to utilize QBO as a local search of the traditional DMO to avoid its search limitations. So, the developed method, named DMOAQ, benefits from the advantages of the DMO and QBO. It is tested with well-known benchmark and high-dimensional datasets, with comprehensive comparisons to several optimization methods, including the original DMO. The evaluation outcomes verify that the DMOAQ has significantly enhanced the search capability of the traditional DMO and outperformed other compared methods in the evaluation experiments.
