10. Summary 1. By feature selection, we can deal with high dimensional data, and select important attributes, thus improve the efficiency and effect of classification. 2. The Naïve Bayes algorithm is an robust method to classify multiwavelength data with high accuracy of classification. It is not only used for multiwavelength data, but also for other data, such as photometric data, spectra data, image data or the combined data of these types of data. 3. With the classifier, it is helpful to preselect source candidates for large surveys and classify the new data. 4. The methods will be part of VO toolkits.
