• abstract = "The present paper deals with the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a tool for morphological characterisation of histological brain tumour samples. Data mining techniques will be applied for automatic identification of brain tumour tissues based on AFM images by means of classifying grade II and IV tumours. The rapid advancement of AFM in recent years turned it into a valuable and useful tool to determine the topography of surface nanoscale structures with high precision. Therefore, it is used in a variety of applications in life science, materials science, electrochemistry, polymer science, biophysics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. Minkowski functionals are used (in particular the Euler-Poincare characteristic) as a feature descriptor to characterise global geometric structures in images related to the topology of the AFM image. In order to improve classification accuracy on the one hand, but to infer interpretable information from AFM images for domain experts on the other hand, feature analysis and reduction will be applied. From a data mining point of view, Genetic Programming will be introduced as a sophisticated method for both feature analysis and reduction as well as for producing highly accurate and interpretable models. Support Vector Machines will be used for comparison reasons when talking about reachable model accuracy.",
