Comparison of a genetic algorithm to grammatical evolution for automated design of genetic programming classification algorithms

作者:

Highlights:

• Automated design of Genetic Programming classification algorithms is presented.

• Automated design uses a genetic algorithm and grammatical evolution.

• The approach is trained and tested using real-world binary and multi-class data.

• Grammatical evolution designed classifiers perform better for binary classification.

• Genetic algorithm designed classifiers perform better for multi-classification.
