abstract = "In this paper, we propose a new, Genetically Optimised
Neural Network (GONN) algorithm, for solving
classification problems. We evolve a neural network
genetically to optimise its structure for
classification. We introduce new crossover and mutation
operations which differ from a normal Genetic
programming life-cycle to reduce the destructive nature
of these operations. We use the GONN algorithm to
classify breast cancer tumours as benign or malignant.
Accurate classification of a breast cancer tumour is an
important task in medical diagnosis. Our algorithm
gives better classification accuracy of almost 4percent
and 2percent more than a Back Propagation neural
network and a Support Vector Machine respectively.",
