- abstract = "Cardiac rhythm disorders may cause severe heart diseases, stroke, and even sudden cardiac death. Some arrhythmias are so serious that can cause injury to other organs, for instance, brain, kidneys, lungs or liver. Therefore, early and correct diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia is essential to the prevention of serious problems. There are expert systems to classify arrhythmias from electrocardiograms signals. However, it has been shown that not only selecting the correct features from the dataset but also generating combined features could be the key to having real progress in classification. Therefore, this paper investigates a novel hybrid evolutionary technique to perform both tasks at the same time, finding complementary features that cover different characteristics of the data. The new features were tested with a widely-used classifier called Random Forests. The method reduced a dataset with 279 attributes to 26 attributes and achieved accuracies of 86.39percent for binary classification and 77.69percent for multiclass. Our approach outperformed several popular feature selection, feature generation, and state-of-the-art related work from the literature.",
