A multi-objective optimization procedure for solving the high-order epistasis detection problem

作者:

Highlights:

• The high-order epistasis detection problem is an important task in biomedicine.

• This task can be tackled as a two-objective optimization problem.

• We have designed a problem-aware evolutionary offspring process.

• The experiments have been done over different datasets and epistasis sizes.

• The proposal improves other methods in both multi-objective and biological terms.
